damn it, it's fault of CAB packaging - I am sure that if you would install it in smartphone (thouch-screen-less) and copy *.exe *.dll files without CAB then it would work 100% for sure.

it will only work on smartphones as there is no app just a homescreen plugin

it uses a huge amount of the screen so is a bit poo

I recall the announcement being made for the software from over a month ago, but I don't recall the software actually having availability.

Sadly, I've not been able to try this out on my HTC Wizard/AT&T 8125. It says my device is incompatible :'(

It was released a while ago, not sure it was a month ago, but I tried it a while ago and really didn't like it, but only for one reason.

It has potential and is a pretty good looking app, BUT the location selections only have a few places. In other words, I can't tell it to give me whether for my town, but some town that's miles away from me. Yahoo Go is better atm, even in the buggy version 2 that's available...
