Yahoo goes mobile with Yahoo Go for Mobile 2.0

Yahoo is pushing the envelope with this Java ME app that can do mobile searching plus have a back-end server push all kinds of data content directly to your cell phone without having to browse a content Web site.

See:

Go forth with Yahoo Go for Mobile 2.0

Here's a quote:

 Indeed, recognizing the need to 
 provide quick bits of information 
 with minimal click-through, the 
 new search service provides users 
 who enter terms like "Broncos" or 
 "Beyonce" with data on sports 
 scores or celebrity break-ups 
 instead of just links to sports 
 or entertainment news sites.
The advantage of Java ME on the cell phone continues to be customization of Web services data bursts that go directly to your mobile device (no browser app!) and the departure from the Web browsing model of the has-been desktop PC world. This is a developing trend worth noting and a change in paradigm on the cell phone that is starting to emerge.
