Yahoo and Google are striking when the iron’s hot — the two companies are pursuing wireless broadband initiatives in the wake of Sprint Nextel’s high-profile joint venture with the cable industry, announced last week. The Wall Street Journal has a piece today saying that Yahoo will soon debut a cellphone that it will sell through SBC that can wirelessly link music, photos and emails to users’ Yahoo acounts.
That phone, slated for sale early next year, will be supplied by Nokia and will cost $200 to $300. The device will also feature an MP3 player and a 1.3 megapixel camera.
Google, on the other hand, is taking its Google Maps to wireless devices, starting today. Mobile phone users will be able to access Google Maps with their devices and scroll through as they do on the Internet.
