Good news for Symbian S60 and Windows Mobile smartphone owners. The version of Google Maps for mobile with Street View support is out! Initially, Street View feature was available on Google Maps for iPhone, Android (T-Mobile G1) and BlackBerry and now it’s available on every major smartphone platform out there. Best of all, it’s not just United States that’s covered with street photos. France, Italy, Spain and Australia are also included in the mix.
That’s the main news, but there’s even more! Google Maps for mobile also has a bunch of other new features including walking directions (in addition to driving and public transit), transit alerts from participating public transportation authorities, and the ability to access user generated content and read what other people think of a place. In addition, the entire user interface has been overhauled to “make the app more responsive and easier to use.”
Want it? Sure you do! Point your mobile browser to google.com/gmm 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.
