In another publication, I recently discussed the “What if” scenarios if Yahoo! were somehow able to escape a Microsoft acquisition, and defy the iron grip of Google’s popular web API’s and viral adoption of its competing services by joining forces with a major mobile handset vendor – such as a Motorola or a Nokia, and create a truly Open Source smart phone that leveraged the power of Yahoo’s assets, such as Flickr, Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Finance and Yahoo! Mail.
