Yahoo has unveiled the public beta of its latest instant messaging software, boasting integration with its gaming, address book, search and music services.

The company said the new version of Yahoo! Messenger will provide access to preprogrammed or customised radio stations and enable users to listen to each other's music through Launchcast music service.

It also works with Yahoo! Games, to allow surfers to play two-person games including Chess, Checkers, Dominoes and Word Racer directly in the instant messaging window.

Deeper integration with Yahoo! Search through new shortcuts allows queries to be shared with online friends, while access to contacts, including email and mobile information, has been added to Yahoo! AddressBook.
