If I was running Yahoo today, I'd want all of my employees to have a smart phone, be using it, and be thinking about where computing was headed. Phone and data costs should not be an excuse. And when I say smartphone I mean a REAL smartphone. Having employees using Blackberries isn't helping Yahoo move forward in mobile.

Oh yea for sure. Tons of companies provide smart phones for their employees, it's a nice perk. My statement is more based around this new free phones thing, the announcement of free food to the employees, etc. They are pitching it as if free stuff to employees is going to turn the company around. Obviously making the employees happier and better connected will help, but I haven't heard of anything technical that they are doing to further the company.
