There's an update to Yahoo! Messenger for Android OS 2.2 and and an update to Yahoo! Mail Android app.  In both apps, you'll now be able to merge and sync Yahoo! Address Book contacts with your Android contact list.  For Yahoo! Messenger Android, they've improved video calling and photo/video sharing.

New Features Yahoo! Messenger for Android:

  • Start Video Calling - Begin your video IM
    conversations on your PC and continue them from your Android,
    iPhone, or any Internet-enabled device. 
  • Enhanced Photo & Video Sharing - Makes it easier to share photos & videos with friends.
  • Contact Sync - You can now access your Yahoo! Contacts from your device contacts app with ease, wherever you are in your operating system.

New Features Yahoo! Mail Android:

  • Multiple Accounts: Probably the biggest request we
    had from users was for the ability to add multiple Yahoo! Mail accounts. 
    Well we heard you loud and clear! You can now add accounts and swap
    seamlessly between them.
  • Photo Browsing: If you've used our mobile Web HTML5
    site for iOS devices, you'll be familiar with our photo features.  When
    you receive an email with photo attachments, we give you a fast preview - right in the inbox.
  • Mail, IM and Video: When you install Yahoo!
    Messenger on your device, you'll be able to see the online presence of
    your contacts from within Mail.  With one tap of a contact, you can
    trigger a new message, view contact details, start an IM, and even begin
    a video call without ever leaving Yahoo! Mail.
  • Contact Sync: You can now access your Yahoo! Contacts from your device contacts app with ease, wherever you are in the operating system.
