Yahoo, who has been a long time heavy-weight in the Internet search field, is now tossing its hat in the mobile search field with its Yahoo Appspot. The app helps mobile users locate apps that are relevant to them directly on their hand-held devices.
Yahoo Appspot is an ingenious and innovative move by the Internet giant because many tech analysts are anticipating that there will be a transition from a web-based experience to an app-based one in the coming years. The Yahoo Appspot is available for both iPhone and Android devices.
Easier to use than the iTunes app search feature, the Yahoo Appspot is intuitive. If you have an iPhone or an Android device, you can download the app for free.
