Just when we though Orkut is pretty much dead, Google decided to release a dedicated mobile app for accessing the social network. The Java ME-based client will work on most feature phones, allowing users to keep up with their Orkut buddies while on the go.
Using the Orkut mobile app, users can:
- Perform “basic Orkut operations” such as write/read scraps, update status, search for users, view/accept/deny friend requests, etc.
- Take a photo on their phone and upload it right to their Orkut album.
- Share photos with Orkut friends or SMS them to phone contacts not yet on Orkut.
- Call or SMS Orkut friends or phone contacts without leaving the app.
- View scraps, updates from friends, and photo albums in offline mode.
To put it in other words, Orkut mobile app will certainly help any remaining fans of the Google-owned social network stay in touch with their “Orkut activities.” To download the app, visit m.google.com/orkut on your phone and follow instructions provided on the screen…

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.
