I am a Yahoo Go 2.0 user and I like the interface and the look of this app. I've always been a yahoo user, djbroke119 at yahoo , so i use this app to check my yahoo mail because I don't want another mail folder as this account isn't too important. It gives just a nibble of other content such as news, weather, sports but it doesn't give very many headlines. As far as speed, I don't seem to have a problem, it takes a few seconds to load emails but nothing major. Good interface, clean look.

Ok, so I've installed 3.0 beta and my first impression is mixed. The first difference I notice is that the widgets don't preview the content when scrolled over, not a fan of this. It seems that once you click a widget that there is a little more content, but the interface isn't quite as smooth as 2.0. Graphics are good and there is a nice background. I like the feature to add custom widgets, this version definately has more customization but I like the feel of 2.0 better. When you click a widget, the top of the page is a small ad, which means you have to scroll down to see any content, not a big fan of this extra step. New widgets include myspace, ebay and mtv news as well as custom url. As far as the loading time, the app speed seems about the same.

I would wait until full 3.0 comes out, I'm gonna downgrade back to 2.0. This program was just a basic, easy way for me to see a few headlines, check my yahoo mail and my sports teams, they have made it too complicated for my liking.
