Yahoo takes the 2010 Winter Olympics mobile 21

by Derek Kessler Fri, 12 Feb 2010 6:23 pm EST

Yahoo! Mobile Olympics While NBC may have a monopoly on Olympics coverage on the teletube, the internet is a free-for-all when it comes to news. The folks at Yahoo! know that we want Olympics news on the go, so they’ve put together a slick mobile portal for their 2010 Winter Olympic Games news. And just in time, as the games kick off tonight with what’s sure to be an extravaganza of an opening ceremony (thanks for setting the bar ridiculously high, China).

Even if you’re up in Vancouver you might find this useful. The site wraps news, galleries, and the medal count all into a neat little package along with coverage from blogs and sports experts. And it’s not just for American sports fans - Yahoo! is bringing Olympic-level news to 13 countries, including Australia, Canada (naturally), France, Germany, and India. Check it out at http://m.yahoo.com/olympics

Hah.. My thoughts exactly. I never have thought much of the Olympics.

just because you have absolutely no athletic ability doesn't mean you can't appreciate a collection of the world's greatest athletes gathering for true sportsmanship and competition

And who says I have no athletic ability? HUH!!! That's right. You don't know me, nor do you know what I am or am not capable of. You are obviously a complete and total judgmental moron. Most likely some 10 year old kid.

Ever heard of this thing called "EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION?"

Oh, that's right, you and your incompetent cult members must not have.

Some of us do care. I love all things Olympics so this was great news to me. I can check up on the latest while I'm at work. I appreciate this info.

Will we get video clips after the WebOS 1.4 update is released?

Posted by Derek Kessler on Fri, 12 Feb 2010 7:46 pm EST

Not from the mobile site, if Flash is what you're talking about. Mostly because if you put Flash on a mobile site, you're wrong.

Thanks. I will use this site quite a bit I guess in the next 2 weeks.
