But, it should. Google Mobile gets a lot of press like most Google products. Microsoft&#8217;s Live Mobile is in a design transition phase (and it really needs to sync up with MSNBC&#8217;s mobile solution while it is at it). Yahoo! Mobile has a few beta-stage components. But, for the most part is a mature, simple to navigate, and content rich mobile portal site. It has much more content formatted for the small screen than either Google or Microsoft&#8217;s mobile portals. It also has a simple and fast news interface that makes it easy to go from story to story even on a relatively slow GPRS or EDGE connection. It&#8217;s only shortcoming compared to its two major competitors is that its web cookie does not <em>stick <\/em>properly on a Windows Mobile device. My login\/password seems to be forgotten much more quickly after leaving the Yahoo! Mobile site. To be fair, Microsoft&#8217;s Live Mobile seems to have a similar problem. Only Google&#8217;s Mobile portable has the right amount of session stickyness. So, I find myself rarely using it on a QWERTY-less Smartphone while using it quite a lot on a Pocket PC (where login\/password entry can be performed much faster).<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t tried Yahoo!
