Earlier this week, Yahoo! rolled out a new mobile search site designed specifically for use on Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch devices. Some background information was provided by Yahoo! developer Ryan Grove on his blog.

Grove explained he wanted to make as few concessions and compromises as possible when it came to bringing Yahoo! search to the iPhone. So the new mobile site comes with some positives: SearchAssist, to auto-complete inquiries; compatibility with Yahoo!'s SearchMonkey widgetised results (if you're logged in), and search shortcuts like weather, movie times, and local information.

Early reviews seem to be positive. "Thanks for finally giving me the reason to get one of those damn iPhones," a commenter on Grove's blog wrote.
