would there be any reason why one wouldn't be able to check their gmail through the iPhone's Safari?
-Clive
as gmail is web based a web browser as Safari will do that. the thing is push email (instantly receiving an e-mail and not checking a web page). Google already offers a kinda push email, they send you an sms when you receive an email, however i do not know if this is free and you still have to go to the webpage to check the original email.

the big question to me, is do the yahoo board and shareholders feel they can remain viable by themselves of need a stategic partner.....seems if the sell its for stategic positioning. i have yahoo as my home address if MS buys them i will ditch yahoo for google or other home page.
i don't use yahoo mail.
would yahoo growth and profitability get better or worse with MS.
MS is looking for ways to preserve it's cash cows,, vista, and office.
too bad apple didnt buy yahoo......but then again how would yahoo help apple
can apple iphone go enterprise without a yahoo email sync?
Google and Apple are already tight, and Google's CEO, Dr. Eric Schmidt, is on Apple's Board of Directors. If Microsoft takes Yahoo, it's possible Apple and Google will solidify their relationship further. I don't think Apple will buyout Google or vice versa, but you can certainly expect a strong defensive versus Microsoft + Yahoo.

If the founders of Yahoo, and the Board of Directors will get enough out of a deal, then the deal will go through. Otherwise, Yahoo is doing fine.

There is no possibility that Apple will buy out Google. Google is worth twice as much as Apple
There is little chance that Google will buy out Apple because Apple is worth $80 billion. That would be one of the largest, if not the largest, buyouts in history.

Too much debt would be attained.
I said there would likely be no buying. Just tighter integration of products/services/etc. Although keep in mind, big takeovers DO occur:
All I can visualize is a large 1000 pound tick trying to grab on to a 800 pound cow. This just gives MS more fodder to continue its parasitic business model without adding anything except market capital and a few hundred million captive end-users.
This government obviously won't make a fuss and Wall Street will play with as many Enrons and AOL-Time Warners as it can get. This version of the "ownership" economy is all about selling and buying, not innovating or improving.
I hope stockholders grow a pair and push Yahoo to be better at its job rather than throwing in the towel and cashing out. With the size of the internet there should be plenty of the room for Google, Yahoo, MS and a few others. The only reason Yahoo could be considered in trouble is to measure it against unrealistic expectations.
i've been using yahoo mail for about 7 years and consider it the most straightforward and friendly free email service. if m$ funk it up like they did with hotmail, i'll be extremely angry

How much more evil can this poor old world take?

SBC bought out Ameritech
AT&T bought out SBC
AT&T bought out Cingular
AT&T bought out Bell South

This would be crap for the entire industry.

It's a little different from that. SBC bought AT&T and then changed its name to AT&T.
That's a little beside the point though, I'm thinking MS Yahoo would probably only go slightly better than AOL Time Warner.

I believe SBC bought out ATT.
Also, these companies were much bigger than Apple, so the value of their stocks was much smaller relative to their sales.
