Well... I don't know mobile all that well. Is platform the problem? I would think Google is trying to figure out how to enter and sustain advantage in the market. This means coming up with killer apps with coordination to ensure that the can be integrated in the back end AND the front end. So, given all that... why would Opera, which can provide only eyeballs, be a good match? the "Google Mobile" which was released today will be a good entre to get a small uber-user group toe-deep into using their mobiles for non calls... and then experiment with new features on them. In their larger strategy, I can't see why google would move until a.) they get the contract to "mobilise" SF, or b.) they find a ripe market that Yahoo could capture (in Japan maybe?) Hmmm. Well… I don’t know mobile all that well.

First Yahoo announced its entrance to the wireless world with an MVNO on NokiaǃÙs handsets on Cingular's network (but without mobile carrier itself). Yahoo was followed by GoogleǃÙs launch of mobile services like Google Maps, Google Local Search, and followed by the latest rumor of Google buying Opera. Things are getting tight there! It will be interesting to see YahooǃÙs next step on the mobile market after all the latest acquisitions of web community services, new VoIP services, and new RSS to SMS application.
