It seems longer, but I've been using Yahoo To Go for a year now, and I have to sing it's praises. It's really the ideal mobile services application. FYI, if you don't know what Yahoo To Go is, head over to the official site and check it out.

Yahoo to go is one of those rare mobile applications like the mobile versions of Google Maps and Mail that people install and actually use more than once. But Yahoo To Go goes further than those applications in that it really tightly integrates with the Yahoo site.

What this means is, if I set up news sources on my My Yahoo page, they'll show up in the news section of the Yahoo To Go (Y2G) application. And trust me when I say that reading a news article in the Y2G application is much, much nicer than using a standard mobile browser.

You also get access to Yahoo Mail, which is a given. Again, it doesn't have to be said the using the Y2G application to read email is infinitely nicer than using a mobile browser.

The killer feature, IMO, is the ability to upload your cameraphone pictures to flickr on the fly. It's a great idea, and it works easily and painlessly.

I am worried about Y2G 3.0. Version 2 was nice and simple, but I'm afraid Yahoo seems to have caught Nokiaitis and made version 3 into a widgetey mess, with all sorts of carousel metaphors. I'm hopping the final version won't let me down, but from what I've seen of the beta, I'm afraid I'm going to be losing a valuable addition to my mobile toolkit.
