Ten countries to have Yahoo Go Mobile preinstalled

3rd party S60 applications - January 16th, 2006 - Written by Tommi Vilkamo

(continuing the Yahoo Go Mobile discussion)

Allaboutsymbian / Evan Spence wondered:

CNet points out that the client will be pre-installed on Series 60 devices in ten countries (but handily doesn’t say which ones).

I asked this from Nokia’s main Yahoo contact, and he pointed out to Nokia’s earlier press release from April 2005:

Nokia is the first handset manufacturer with Symbian-based products to distribute Yahoo! services for consumers in such a large number of European and Asian markets, including Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Spain and the United Kingdom.

I would assume that operators can define whether they want the app in their own variants or not. After all, they are also Nokia’s customers.

    I really feel Christian Lindholm is out of his element here. This man, while working for Nokia, had few ideas himself. Being called the Father of the Series 60 is, without a doubt, overblown. He knows who and where the whole concept comes from. Just ask him about Mother program. And he knows damn well who was the first to develop this interface.

    This man is a political animal. He takes the work of other individuals. There is a long list of people he has done wrong.

    Surely Yahoo should know what lies this man bases his resume on. And surely Yahoo is a company that will see this man is way out of his league.

    If you want a list of the real people who has done the work, it would be easy to show. Also Christian can see the user specifications of the ” Mother Program” which could be in my possession. Ask him to explain all of this. Father of the Series 60?? No way

    Somebody could really dig into the real Lindholm and come up with the truth.
