BlackBerrys to get Yahoo content and services

RIM and Yahoo announce content tie-up for mobile devices

Yahoo and Research in Motion have detailed their plans to deliver Yahoo web services on RIM’s BlackBerry devices.

The firms first announced the content deal at a trade show in January, but patent problems at the portable email device manufacturer may have delayed the launch.

Now that issue is resolved the firms have announced that they will put the Yahoo Go Mobile service, which includes email, messaging, and Yahoo search, onto the BlackBerry.

The service is live in the US now, and will be rolled across other locations in the next couple of weeks. Yahoo Messenger is already available for O2 customers in the UK.
