Their announcement of Go 3.0 has made them an object of desire in the mobile developer community, and the inclusion of any Yahoo widgets working as a standalone XHTML app is very smart. Targeting many other kinds of devices allows Go's formidible reach to expand, but more importantly, it allows for Yahoo's ad programs to have an increasing reach into the mobile world. This puts Yahoo, potentially, in the Google seat in the mobile space, a spot they had and lost in the web world. Interesting times! Yahoo has a very interesting Trojan horse here.
