Google is paying more attention to the Symbian S60 devices. I never realized why it took them so long to optimize some of their services (Picasa Web Albums) for S60, when we know there are few times more S60 devices out there than any other smartphones.
Anyway, the search giant has announced that it has made its social network, orkut, sing along with Nokia and Samsung S60 phones. The new mobile website is optimized to work with Webkit-based S60 browser, meaning that it uses JavaScript/AJAX to provide users with better experience. As a matter of fact, new features are also included in the mix, allowing users to upload their photos, browse picture galleries, perform click-to-calls and quick friend searches.
No software is need to be installed in order to access the optimized-for-S60 orkut. Simply point your S60 browser to m.orkut.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.
