Yahoo jumps ahead of Google on mobile phone search
By
Yahoo Inc. introduced on Monday a new Internet search system for mobile phone users that delivers locally relevant answers, a move that vaults it ahead of what rival Google Inc. now offers.
Yahoo, which has been playing to catch up to Google in computer Web search, has been making strides in recent months to overtake its rival in the fast emerging mobile Web market. As networks grow faster and most handsets now come with Web browsers, Internet companies are moving aggressively to bring search, e-mail, mapping and other familiar online services to phones. The mobile Web promises to offer a handier way than bulky computers for many consumers to connect to the Internet.
