Yahoo gets Android handset in Japan, renews hope for long-awaited AltaVista phone

Mobile operating systems, it kind of feels, make strange bedfellows, so perhaps it is not an incredible surprise that Yahoo, a top traffic presence in Japan, is getting its own Android handset in that country. The hunt engine is lending its name to a version of Sharp’s AQUOS 009SH. The Gingerbread handset is preloaded with Yahoo Home, Auctions, and diverse other Y-branded goodies. The phone’s SoftBank contract also comes with a free two-year premium membership to Yahoo Japan and a few bonus points for Yahoo Shopping purchases. The Yahoo Phone would be hitting Japan next month.
