After about a month in beta, it seems like Yahoo Mail open applications is now available to everyone. See that this morning on my, and my wife yahoo account. Previously, only users who have registered for beta tester are able to test it, but only from the beta URL.

Additionally, there are also few more applications has been added into the application gallery such as ‘Family Journal’. 

When it run on Google Chrome, the new Yahoo Mail also requesting permission to allow it accessing Google Gears (it never asking anything before). Does that means the Yahoo Mail open application now using Google Gears to improve its perfomance??

Erm, no announcement on the Yahoo Mail blog..
