Yahoo Launches OneConnect Mobile Service

oneconnect

oneConnect will be the first mobile product with an open architecture that aggregates communications tools – email, instant messaging (IM), text messaging (SMS), and social networks – for a new level of convenience in mobile communications. Users can view new postings on Facebook, photos on MySpace, or a connection on LinkedIn.

It includes features such as a socially-connected address book, integrated mobile messaging, contact status alerts, and innovative location-sensing technology with proximity alerts. Widgets will offer the capability to access email from major providers, including Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, and AOL.

After its release, oneConnect is expected to become available across hundreds of devices and mobile browsers around the world. The product is expected to be made available in Q2 2008.
