Yahoo has ditched its mobile app for smartphones like the BlackBerry and is now focusing on the iPhone. What's up with that? They sent out this email yesterday that basically says other than the iPhone, smartphone users will have to use a browser for their Yahoo experience.

After careful consideration, Yahoo! has decided to cease development of Yahoo! Mobile for smartphones effective Wednesday, May 20th.
Moving forward, we will be focusing our efforts on the newly-launched Yahoo! Mobile experience for browsers (available at new.m.yahoo.com) and for the iPhone (available via the Apple App Store).
The feedback we’ve received from our beta testers during this program has been extremely helpful in improving the customer experience across all of our Yahoo! Mobile products. We hope you’ve enjoyed being a beta tester and that you’ll continue to provide passionate input to us regarding our products.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you have further feedback or any other questions, please contact customer care.
Many thanks,
The Yahoo! Mobile team
