You'd be waiting twenty seconds just for it to connect, then further lengthy delays when loading any information and this was on a fairly recent Nokia phone on a fast 3G network in Britain. Google seems to get it fairly right when it comes to mobile apps; their Maps package is excellent and Mail isn't far behind, although I prefer just to use the mobile website for that. I think the mistake Go! makes is sticking everything in the one app. If I want to check my Y! email, why make me sit through the loading of news, weather, search and so on?
