Verizon Wireless has a brand new application called SocialLife, which acts as a mobile gateway that connects users to popular social networking sites.
SocialLife smartly and simply brings together numerous social networking sites catering to different communities, including MySpace, into one easy-to-use application. With SocialLife, Verizon Wireless customers will be able to view messages, approve or deny friend requests, post comments or update status or profiles on their favorite social networking site, all on their wireless phones while on-the-go.
In addition to MySpace, SocialLife also enables users to connect to other social networks — including AsianAve, BlackPlanet, FaithBase, GLEE, LiveJournal, MiGente, Photobucket, Rabble and MTV Tr3s. Furthermore, users can easily upload their photos directly from the application, without connecting their phone to a PC.
Intercasting’s ANTHEM platform, which is also used by Virgin Mobile USA, is running the show in the back-end.
SocialLife can be found in the “Community” section of Get It Now-enabled phones or under the “Browse & Download” section of the “Media Center” on some handsets. The application is available for $1.49 monthly access, though data charges may apply.

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.
