Go 3.0 Beta<\/a> became available for two of my Windows Mobile 6 smartphones (non-touch): The Dash and the the Vox. None of my professional edition (touch screen devices) are supported by this beta release. After bad-mouthing the Go 2.0 release and suggesting it go away if the Microsoft-Yahoo merger happened (which it will not now), I have to say that 3.0 Beta looks and feels a lot better. It is still extremely slow after testing it over both EDGE and 802.11g WiFi connections. However, the navigation seems to make more sense now (though I still have issues with it) and the Widget technology looks reasonably good. It looks like Go Widgets are stored in the cloud since my widget add-ons moved over to my Vox after adding it while using the Dash. Go 3.0 is a much sticker app than 2.0 was. And, I&#8217;m giving it a tentative thumbs up. It is staying on my phones for the time being.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobileviews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/yahoogo3beta-widgets-300x225.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"yahoogo3beta-widgets\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobileviews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/yahoogo3beta-widgets-300x225.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.mobileviews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/yahoogo3beta-widgets.gif 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I noticed that Yahoo!
