Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Messenger Free Download for Sony Xperia X10, Motorola Droid X, Google Nexus One

July started really great with Yahoo Inc. finally joining the fast-rising Android OS market. The internet company just released version 1.00 of its very popular Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Messenger app for Android phones. I even tried it on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 android phone (OS version is 1.6) but there seems to be a problem with it at the moment. Hopefully, Yahoo will also release a minor update that will support Android devices still lingering in Android 1.5 and Android 1.6 operating systems. However, This is again a strong indication that Android, despite being Google’s pet project, is even being supported by competitors like Yahoo. You can get these two free apps from the Android Market. Unfortunately, only those running Android OS 2.1 or Froyo (Android OS 2.2) will enjoy this first version release. Some models that will be able to run these free apps are: Motorola Droid X (Droid 2) and of course, Google Nexus One. Froyo Update for Google Nexus One phone can be found via the link given so in case you haven’t updated your superphone yet, this is the most opportune time to do that.
