Yahoo Inc. on Monday said it is working with Research in Motion to pre-install Yahoo's instant messaging software into RIM's popular BlackBerry wireless devices.
Under the agreement, BlackBerry devices in the "coming months" will ship with the full-color, graphical Yahoo Messenger client. The deal builds on Sunnyvale, Calif.-based, Yahoo's strategy of extending its core desktop services to mobile devices.
The Yahoo! Messenger service on the BlackBerry platform will allow consumers to see who in their buddy lists are online, send and receive instant messages, have multiple conversations at once and participate in online conferences.
BlackBerry users today can access Yahoo's search, news and sports services through the Yahoo Mobile Internet portal.
