The Yahoo iPhone app drop down menu is really neat
Great way to provide extras functions on the same screen that are immediatly accessible.

iPhone Yahoo vs. IPhone Google: 1 - 0
At a glance Yahoo iPhone app is: Yahoo news/media properties + Yahoo One Search + Yahoo Connect (aka your extended social stream, messenger, emails, etc.) + your own content view (based on smart keywording).
Yahoo has done an excellent job with its new iPhone app. This is definitely a full integrated user experience and not a mere Safari launch front-end like the Google app. Except that for the search experience they are equivalent with some unique features on both sides. Google has voice search while Yahoo is offering a lot more types of results (Y! Answers, related app download, related products, etc.).
The access to news & media is really done with even a better job than the NYT iphone app.
One weird lacking feature is that when you want to add your own customized inertest (movies, weather, etc.) your current location is not used!!! While in the Yahoo Everything tab the app use your own location.
Overall this is a great all-in-one app.
