(InfoWorld) - Yahoo has teamed up with High Tech ComputerÂ (HTC) to put a suite of Internet software applications on millions of Windows Mobile handsets, the companies said Wednesday. The deal puts Yahoo a step ahead of rivals with its Yahoo Go for Mobile 2.0. HTC, the latest of a number of companies Yahoo has signed on to use its software, is the world's largest maker of handsets that run Windows Mobile. The OS is normally found on the kind of high end smartphones that Yahoo is targeting. "We don't have any kind of agreement with Google right now, but we do provide pocket MSN and IE on our Windows Mobile handsets and we will continue to do so," said an HTC representative. Yahoo, of Sunnyvale, California, said it would put the gamma, or release candidate, version of the mobile software on HTC handsets. Previously, only a test version had been available. OnceÂ a software is ready for general release, it moves from gamma to gold. HTC, of Taipei, Taiwan, will preload Yahoo Go 2.0 on millions of devices, the companies said in a statement. HTC joins a host of other companies announcing support for the new applications, including Nokia, Research In Motion, Motorola, and Samsung Electronics. Users can download Yahoo Go 2.0 for free on more than 75 Windows Mobile devices via a link at a special section of Yahoo's Web site. The site also offers a place for users to input their mobile phone numbers to determine if their handset can run the suite. In all, Go 2.0 can be used on over 100 different mobile phone models, a number that will rise to 175 models in the near future, according to Yahoo. The company is aiming for 400 devices by the end of the year. Launched early this year, Yahoo Go 2.0 offers users oneSearch, which serves up useful information for Internet searches instead of just a list of Web sites. For example, if a user types in "pizza," the search engine will display phone numbers for local pizzerias. It also offers a number of widgets including e-mail, local information, maps, news, sports, finance, and more.

(InfoWorld) - Microsoft announced some new Windows Live applications for mobile phones on Monday, including programs that offer search and mapping capabilities. Live Search for Windows Mobile 6 and Live Search will both be available shortly through operators in the U.S. and the U.K., Microsoft announced at the 3GSM World Congress show in Barcelona. The search software includes category-based searching, which lets people find things without having to type search terms into their phone. They could search for a list of restaurants or hotels in their local area, for example. It can also map local information using Microsoft's Virtual Earth, and provide real-time traffic reports for 25 U.S. cities, including Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles. The Live Search software is available for Windows Mobile devices, Nokia Series 40 and Series 60 devices, Motorola's Razr and SLVR devices, and some phones from LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics. People interested in the software can find a list of supported devices here or download the software for free from their mobile phone here. Microsoft also announced the availability of Windows Live for Windows Mobile, which includes productivity tools such as messaging and e-mail software, as well as Live Spaces, Microsoft's blogging and photo service. The applications are debuting ahead of the expected mid-year release ofÂ Windows Mobile 6, which Microsoft will demonstrate at 3GSM. 3GSM World Congress runs through Thursday.

(InfoWorld) - Taiwanese handset maker High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC) has developed a smart phone based on Microsoft'sÂ upcoming Windows Mobile 6 softwareÂ that offers both a numeric keypad and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The S710, announced at theÂ 3GSM World CongressÂ in Barcelona, will be one of the first handsets from HTC to ship with Windows Mobile 6. The handset will hit European markets from Orange during the first half of the year and will be sold as the Orange SPV E650, HTC said. The S710 looks like a phone, with a 2.4-inch color TFT (thin-film transistor( LCD (liquid crystal display) screen and a numeric keypad. The handset, which also offers the option to view the display in landscape mode, has a concealed QWERTY keyboard that slides out from its side. The QWERTY keyboard should make it easier for users to write e-mails or take advantage of the newly added ability in Windows Mobile 6 to edit Microsoft Office documents from a smart phone. The S710 works with GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), and EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) networks. The smart phone also has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, and a 2-megapixel camera. It comes with 128MB of ROM, 64MB of RAM, and has a slot for a microSD (Secure Digital) card.
