Back in December, we saw Google releasing the iPhone-optimized version of its Picasa Web Albums service. Now they’ve decided to address even larger market – those with Windows Mobile devices.
At the moment, they are talking about touchscreen-enabled WinMo 6 devices only, but soon, I guess, users with the non-touchscreen (Standard Edition) devices will be able to use the service as well.
Important thing to note is that Picasa Web Albums works with recently announced Google Gears for Windows Mobile, giving you an option to view selected albums offline. In addition, Gears also lets you add a Picasa icon to your Program Files folder so you can access your photos even faster.
Want to give it a try? Simply point WinMo’s Internet Explorer to picasaweb.google.com and take it from there.

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.
