Yahoo Building A New Browser

Speculation building in the news

[kaz]

Has anyone else heard anything definitive recently regarding Yahoo building its' own browser?
(News Item Here [insidebayarea.com])

Yahoo... may consider developing its own Internet browser to help attract more users and advertisers to its web sites, CEO Terry Semel said. "You could look to Yahoo to do most everything that makes sense on the Internet going forward..." Developing a browser may make sense "at some point in time," he said.[/

I'm curious if this is just speculation, or has anyone heard anything more definitive?

Just because he uses the word browser doesn't necessarily mean they are launching one anytime soon. IMHO I think the more important statement being made is that Yahoo is not just search. They are not going to limit themselves. If they can get an audience that can be sold to advertisers they will launch a product for it.
