fastmobile, a leader in mobile

agreement with California Internet giant Yahoo!. Through this relationship,
fastmobile will bring the rich, multimedia features enabled by their mobile
Instant Communications Platform to select Yahoo! mobile services.
The first product delivered to Yahoo! under the agreement is a mobile
multimedia version of Yahoo!’s popular Instant Messaging (IM) application,
Yahoo!® Messenger. The application is part of the Yahoo! Go mobile service
announced at the 2006 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las

feature enhancements to mobile IM. Included in its advanced features is the
ability to send voice IMs and cameraphone photos within an active
conversation. The application also replicates the rich look and feel of the
PC-based Yahoo! Messenger service.

innovation in offering users their favorite desktop services on mobile
phones and we’re delighted to have been selected by Yahoo! to be a partner
