It was launched in Beta in the US in January 2008 , along with THE Yahoo! Mobile Developer Platform and with Yahoo! co-founder and CEO, Jerry Yang, saying the goal was to strengthen Yahoo!'s role as "the preferred starting point for anything and everything users need online." Yahoo! Mobile for Web and the Yahoo! Mobile iPhone app were launched in eight countries - the US Canada, the UK, Germany, France, India, Indonesia and the Philippines - in April this year. And Yahoo! plans to launch additional localised versions over the next several months. Yahoo! Mobile claims to offers "an open environment where consumers can bring together their favourite content and services from across the Internet." Users can view results from Yahoo!'s mobile search and editor-selected content; stay connected through access to email and social network accounts from the most popular Web providers, as well as instant messaging, address book and calendar tools; and bring together their favourite content - websites, sports teams, news sources, local content, RSS feeds, weather, stocks, horoscopes and more - into a single location. David Ko, senior vice president, Yahoo! Mobile, claimed that: "With products like the new Yahoo! Mobile, we're invigorating the mobile industry and creating consumer demand for compelling Internet services across a variety of mobile platforms. We're delivering engaging and customisable user experiences for consumers around the globe, ultimately putting them in control of their mobile lives."
