Yahoogobeta3screenshot2As we mentioned last night Yahoo has finally released the new Yahoo Go Beta for BlackBerry. The new version is meant to bring quite a few new features to the table including speed improvements and new map features. I am just installing it myself so I will let you know how it goes after CES winds down.

As I mentioned before the new version is even larger than the already large version 2.0. The download size is almost 1 megabyte so if you are on a limited data plan…you know the drill.

You can pick up the download by going to http://go.yahoo.com from your BlackBerry and follow the download links.

    It’s not just the download time (and cost if you’re on a meter). Device memory space is scant and precious in all Blackberry phones. RIM really did skimp on that one.
    .
    I don’t know about Yahoo!Go version 3, but v2 was totally not worth it. Too much bloat for little benefit. And I found the app clumsy too, not well designed. I can get all those services with better quality from a bunch of independent apps and still probably less bloat with all of them combined than Yahoo!Go alone. The change log does not impress me at all…

    I really wish RIM would open up the ability to install on an SD card or better yet provide more memory on the device. They were on a roll for awhile going from 8 to 18 to 32 and then the current 64 but they have been stagnant on the 64 for quite a few devices already.

    Yeah I think Yahoo Go is full of bloatware but I know some people who live off of all of Yahoo’s products so this may be a godsend for them. They would do better if they offered more synchronization support with the berry such as address book and calendar sync :)

    Mampeman,
    There are a ton of bugs in this beta. Not to mention the fact that the widgets are more of an Alpha release. They really could learn a thing or two about bloatware from google’s releases
