The Mail panel shows the Yahoo Mail inbox, the second News panel includes a new personalised news stream. The News icon features everything from the latest celebrity gossip to political happenings.Meanwhile, the Today icon, offers up a "snapshot of the information you care about most every day" such as stock quotes, sports scores, more news, and the weather. You can search the web from the Today section, which means you don't have to exit the app and open a different one to get a simple question answered.With this revamped version Yahoo is aiming to offer users an easy access to all their content, however it's not clear what that means for the future of Yahoo's other iOS apps for each of the services.
