yahoo-mobileLooks like some shake-ups are going down in the world of Yahoo! Mobile and any and all of you Blackberry users might be the ones feeling the aftershocks. Looks like reports are coming in that Yahoo’s mobile division is going to be soon abandoning any and all mobile apps for not only the Blackberry, but other smartphones and instead will focus all of its efforts and energy on its new iPhone apps and it’s mobile browser.

We caught wind of this from TechCrunch and apparently they have the official details from a Yahoo spokesperson. Here’s what Yahoo has to say about saying Bye Bye to Blackberry:

“We are reprioritizing some products to help us better deliver the best possible experiences to consumers on mobile. To streamline our services, we will not develop Yahoo! Mobile for smartphones to focus our efforts on mobilizing Yahoo!, improving Yahoo! Mobile for web and Yahoo! Mobile for iPhone as well as developing new and engaging experiences for consumers, partners and advertisers…We currently have mobile products that reach hundreds of different devices (including Blackberry), and we continue to expand that comprehensive list.”

Worry not, Yahoo is saying that it will refocus it energies on other applications and platforms when and if the demand is seen to be high enough. For now, given today’s economic climate, it makes sense that they’d pick one and that the one they went with was iPhone.

Stay tuned to this one, I’m sure more will come.
