Users who have embraced Android as their phone OS but have not yet adopted Gmail have a reason to smile today. Yahoo! has announced the release of not one, not two, but Android applications to make the lives of Yahoo! Android users a little bit easier. Yahoo! mail for Android allows users to easily set up their Yahoo! mail accounts to provide push email services to their Android devices. Prior to this application, users would have to go through the email application and set up their Yahoo! mail using POP/SMTP settings, a process which is Greek to our less tech-savvy Android friends. With the Yahoo! mail for Android app, simply enter in your username and password, and you’re taken straight to your inbox, and receive push notifications as soon as email arrives. The Yahoo! Mail interface is fairly clean, though it feels very “iPhone-y.” Now, that isn’t necessarily a problem for Read More

Chris Crum | | Yahoo has launched Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Messenger apps for Android. These are the first Android apps Yahoo has ever offered. "Yahoo!

Address Book and phone contacts, as well as share photos that you’ve taken on your phone." "The Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo!

Hooking up Android's email client to a Yahoo! account was not typically a simple affair. With Gmail and Windows Live Hotmail, you could just type in your email address and password, and the Android client would set it up for you. Yahoo mailboxes could be hooked up, but only through manual setup, and casual users unfamiliar with incoming and outgoing server settings often hit a brick wall. As the resident "Android guy" of my peers, I've had to set up at least half a dozen different devices to connect to Yahoo mailboxes. Today, Yahoo has made it a whole lot easier to check Yahoo user email with the release of a standalone app for Android. With the app, users can receive push notification of new emails; send emails to Yahoo contacts or in-phone address book contacts; use rich text formatting in messages; search messages by sender, recipient, subject or keyword; view Read More

Arguably a little late to the party, Yahoo! today announced the release of their very first Android apps for Messenger and Mail, a Yahoo! search widget for your home screen and some HTML5-optimized sites for the iPhone. The Messenger app does pretty much what you’d expect: it allows you to chat with your Yahoo!/MSN friends, and can run in the background (with push notifications) for that always-on availability. If you live in Canada, Indonesia, India, Kuwait, Malaysia, Philippines, Pakistan, Thailand, United States, or Vietnam, you can also use the app to send SMS to friends, which will appear in the current conversation. Oh, and it supports emoticons, because it ain’t IM without emoticons. The Mail app is also a no-brainer, and allows you to check, search, organise, and send mail from your Yahoo! email account, as well as download/upload attachments. It can use both your Yahoo! address book, as well as Read More
