OneSearch more iPhone-y
| Monday, July 30th, 2007 | --jr |
There are a few iPhones on campus.
Ok, that's not quite right. It's more like half the folks at Yahoo! have one and the other half are continually looking over those folks shoulders asking questions about them. Why not? They're the cool new toy that folks gotta have.
Not too surprisingly, the folks at Y!Mobile looked at one-search and said to themselves, "You know, cool and handy as this is, it just doesn't look "right" on the iPhone."
Go grab your delightful tribute to Cupertino and visit "http://m.yahoo.com" and you'll see a more iPhone like version of One Search (seen here, thanks to Melanie) in all it's finger flickin' goodness.

Bleh, I could care less.
Also there’s some JS at the bottom of the entry view that I’m guessing isn’t supposed to be displayed.

(and gimme a break, I’m running low on stuff to post about.)

I actually like it. It was the first time I’d tried Yahoo OneSearch and it actually isn’t too bad. Yahoo should give users the option of automatically redirecting to that page when visiting Yahoo.com. Or there should be an iPhone version of the Yahoo homepage.
Actually, considering that Yahoo is one of the default iPhone bookmarks, I think that should be a priority. The standard Yahoo homepage works very poorly on the iPhone (tabs don’t work).
Get to it guys. I swear you guys could be better than Google.
