Yahoo Apps for iPhone Only - Mobile Browser Access for Other Smartphones

I was somewhat disappointed to read this TechCrunch subject line…

Yahoo Mobile Abandons Its Smartphone App To Focus On The iPhone

…until I read this quote from a Yahoo spokesperson in that article…

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…

To further claify:
– Yahoo will develop native apps only for the iPhone
– Yahoo will develop mobile friendly web pages for other smartphone platforms

In my opinion, this is a very good thing.
