Web giant, Yahoo Inc., has succeeded in adding HTC’s Windows Mobile-based smartphones to a growing list of wireless devices featuring the Yahoo! Go selection of wireless web services.

Yahoo announced on Tuesday that HTC, the world’s leading manufacturer of wireless devices running Windows Mobile software, would pre-install Yahoo! Go on virtually all of its new and recent models.

“Windows Mobile phone users tend to be consumers who are relatively data savvy,” commented the senior director of Yahoo’s mobile phone business, Ojas Rege, in a recent interview. “They are a pretty attractive group of users both from the standpoint of being early adopters of new services and in terms of advertising demographics.”

Yahoo has already secured mobile software deals with Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, and LG — four of the world’s top five cell phone manufacturers. This could give them a slight edge over leading rival, Google Inc., which is also trying to establish a presence in the mobile internet market.
