 "CES: Opera Chooses Yahoo! for Mobile Search")
Opera Software has named Yahoo! as the exclusive provider of mobile search on Web browsers for mobile phones, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile, across more than 100 countries worldwide. Opera will launch the new Yahoo! oneSearch when it goes live globally later in Q1 2007.
Yahoo! oneSearch is a completely new mobile search service designed to give consumers instant answers. The service recognizes the intent of a search term and presents relevant content — not just a list of web links to PC sites — on the results page. Results are grouped by subject making it easy to read through and drill down to get more details.
Opera will deliver Yahoo! Search through its distribution channels for Opera Mini, including direct free-to-consumer downloads and through partnerships with content providers, device manufacturers and mobile operators. Opera and Yahoo! will also jointly market the availability of Yahoo! Search on Opera Mobile to help drive consumer awareness and usage.
Opera Mini , launched in January 2006, is a freely available Web browser that enables full Internet access on the majority of mobile phones in the market. Opera Mobile is Opera Software’s standards-compliant Web browser for advanced mobile phones. The browser uses Opera’s Small Screen Rendering technology to reformat Web pages for viewing on a small screen and allows users to navigate Web pages with intuitive vertical scrolling.
Born with the sole aim of correcting people, Sharon took to copy-editing at an early age. In the olden days her methods of correction were rather unorthodox. Don't believe us? Ask the intern who lost two of his er.... Oh ok, I guess we don't talk about that. Now after she got a kid, things have relatively mellowed down. Besides handling the plethora of content that comes out of Tech2, Sharon also handles our sister site, CompareIndia where you can well compare prices of pretty much every electronic item under the sun and CHIP magazine as well, if things weren't heavy enough. She handles a team, all of who seem real happy as long as they're not chained to their desks.
