Yahoo has announced that they have acquired the “intelligent” replacement home screen application Aviate. The app, which is still in a private beta status, uses data and metrics of how and where you use your phone to decide what content to display. the result may or may not be as useful as setting your own shortcuts and widgets, but it certainly looks good.
Yahoo says “We hope to make Aviate a central part of our Android-based experiences in 2014 (and beyond), and we are committed to continued innovation on the product.” Hopefully, that means the app will soon lose it’s beta tag. In the meantime, Yahoo says they will giving away 25,000 codes.
