Yahoo! Go 3.0 is a slippery bugger

At first, I was thinking I would offer a review of Yahoo! Go 3.0. Ya know--load it up, try it out. Unfortunately, I've been informed that ver. 3.0 won't work on my phone, and the best I could do was 2.0, which is like hitting the dealership to pick up a new Porshe and only being able to afford the Yugo. And, btw, Yahoo's insistence that my phone is a T-Mobile Dash, rather than an HTC S621 as offered by Rogers Wireless, is just the sort of USA-centric assumption that really gets a Canadian's goat beaver.

So, then, I was going to riff on how everyone is casting Yahoo's announcement as some sort of direct shot at Google, an “Oh yeah?” response to Android, when really Yahoo Go was around before Android was ever announced and the new widget functionality is exactly in line with Yahoo's established practice of making the web more customizable for the user (Pipes, anyone?), but then I realized that I only had one extended sentence worth of content there and that it would be best drop it.

So here I am, left with no comment. Go check out Yahoo! Go 3.0. It looks cool.
