Richard MacManus http://www.readwriteweb.com - Microsoft Announces Three New Windows Live Products for Mobile Devices; along with the official release of Windows Mobile 6, Microsoft has announced 3 new Live products - Live Search for Windows Mobile, Live Search for Java, and Windows Live for Windows Mobile (a portal-type offering for mobile including e-mail, instant messaging, search and Live Spaces). Microsoft also announced Microsoft PlayReady, a technology that "powers next-generation media experiences on mobile networks".

- Yahoo! Go for Mobile Goes Gamma; Yahoo also announced new mobile offerings at 3GSM in Barcelona, featuring direct search from maps, sharing oneSearch results and news articles, increased device support, and display ads from major global advertisers in 19 countries. The mobile ad part of this news is probably the most significant, because it's an area Google hasn't mastered yet. Also announced was a partnership with LG. This news follows on from the initial Yahoo Go for Mobile announcements at CES last month. Also see our coverage of Yahoo Go when it was first announced a year ago.

- Nokia unveils new mobile internet video experience; sticking with the Mobile Web theme, Nokia has announced a "cooperation" with YouTube (read: Google too), in which YouTube videos will be available on Nokia Nseries "multimedia computers" (aka phones). As Engadget pointed out, this nicely routes around carriers like Vodafone! In other Nokia news, they also released a "second wave" of Nokia Eseries business devices at 3GSM.

- MySpace offers filtering software ahead of YouTube; MySpace has licensed audio fingerprinting technology developed by Audible Magic, to track unauthorized audio content. As Steve O'Hear notes, this is the kind of thing that YouTube/Google should be doing - and with Google's tech chops, there's really no excuse for it not to.
