Yahoo!/GetJar Mobile App Search: Broken?

Discovering new apps is not an easy task for any mobile platform (though some have better mechanisms than others). ReadWriteWeb reported that Yahoo! teamed up with mobile app catalog site GetJar to provide mobile app search results when using Yahoo!’s mobile portal site m.yahoo.com.

Here are the results from my quick test:

– HTC HD7 (Windows Phone 7): Searched for “barcode reader”. No results. This is not unexpected since Microsoft is providing app installations only from its own online market.
