Helio and Yahoo! Offer New Internet Services

Helio and Yahoo! announced this week their partnership, which is meant to give Helio members access to one of the most extensive suites of Yahoo! services available from any mobile brand. This relationship will enable Helio subscribers to stay connected to their favorite Yahoo! services such as Yahoo! Search, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Sports and many more on Helio’s 3G services.
Yahoo! Search service will offer one-click access to a single-button Yahoo! search experience. For example, a Helio member can start a search by literally typing in a search term, just as if they were dialing a phone number. Members will also be able to use Yahoo! Shortcuts, a quick way to get useful information such as local restaurants, movie show times, sports scores, weather and stock quotes.

Yahoo! News, Sports, Finance and more services will offer one-touch links to a full range of Yahoo!’s content services including News, Sports, Finance and Movies.

Yahoo! Mail service offers Helio's members fast and easy access to their Yahoo! Mail account from anywhere, including the ability to reply, forward, delete and move messages to folders. Members will also be able to add, edit or delete contacts in their Yahoo! Address Book.

Yahoo! Messenger service gives access to the existing friends list and the ability to send and receive messages.

Helio's devices, which will be compatible with all these services, Hero and Kickflip, will be launched this spring in the US.
