Why is Yahoo now: m.www.yahoo.com?

What does the m stand for? I didn't know you could put anything in front of the www!

2. You were probably redirected there because you're using it on a mobile device,

Such as a phone or PDA, which has a smaller screen and works better with simpler formatting.

4. It's something to do with their new design

Even if you clear your history and then manually type "Yahoo.com" you are still redirected to the m.www.yahoo.com. I never liked the previous design anyway.
