Yell today announces an agreement that makes its Yell.com local business search service available as a widget on a range of Samsung touch-screen devices. The agreement marks the first time a Yell.com search widget has been made available for a device manufacturer's widget gallery. The specially designed Yell.com search icon is now downloadable free* from the Samsung ‘Widget Gallery' and is pre-installed on three of Samsung's full-touch-devices; the Samsung Jet (S800), Samsung Tocco Ultra (S8300) and Samsung Beat DJ (M7600). The widget will be pre-installed on further new devices in the coming months. Samsung mobile users can personalise their device home screen with the Yell.com widget, allowing them to search for local services from Yell.com's database of more than two million UK businesses with a single touch.
