Yahoo! New Mobile Web Portal with Blueprint (Q3-Q4)

Created the new UI, with implementing Yahoo!'s new public framework called Blueprint XML. This original project with Blueprint was only for HTML-capable new smart phones including iPhone, Blackberry 9000-series, HTC new Windows Mobile, G1/Android, also Opera Mini browsers.

The difference between this product and the "beta" (below) are the UI designs, Blueprint versions and the way to parse data from backend. The beta version used early stage of BP also UI layer had another parser for BP (indirect rendering), compared to this product is more like direct-rendered from BP.

Yahoo! Beta for iPhone and Other high-end smart phones (Q1)

This product was originally created as for CES 2008 as a showcase product for Appe iPhone, Nokia's N-Series and some Windows Mobile phones, and also dubbed as "Yahoo! Go Web", or "Beta Frontpage" by media.
My role was writing all presentation layer (markup and CSS) and logic includes PHP rendering logic that works with "Blueprint" XML (open to the 3rd parties) parser.
This is a still on-going project, and will be re-born as an entire suite with onePlace, oneConnect, as well as oneSearch.

Yahoo! Beta for WAP2.0 Devices (Q2)

This product is the basically same as the above, but for more common WAP2.0 browsers, to demo for Mobile World Congress 2008.
I have added another renderer, to make the presentation work for most of XHTML-browsers such as Blackerry, Razr, Netfront (Sony Ericsson etc.) and so on.
This is also still on-going project, and my current role includes fixing all issue to support more devices.
XHTML-MP, PHP5, CSS1 and 2.
