Following the earlier release of the native Windows Mobile and Symbian S60 versions, Google has finally released its popular Google Maps as a native application for Symbian UIQ smartphones.
The new application is certainly faster than a Java midlet, and also (like S60 and Windows Mobile versions) features “My Location” function, which basically gives a guess of your whereabouts. Everything else is pretty much the same…
So Sony Ericsson smartphone and Motorola Z8 (actually we’re not sure whether the non-touchscreen “flavor” of the UIQ is supported) owners, point your Opera Mobile to www.google.com/gmm and take it from there.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
