MySpace has launched a new, more integrated and optimized mobile Web site that extends the company's global site redesign to its popular mobile destination. The company introduced the updated mobile site at the 2009 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, where it also announced plans to develop fully integrated applications for Nokia in its S60 Web runtime environment and for Palm’s new webOS, first available on the Palm Pre.

The new mobile Web site enhances the look and feel of MySpace on mobile, making it even more consistent with the popular online MySpace experience. New user interface elements have been optimized for devices with screen sizes 176 pixels wide (and larger). It features the familiar "MySpace blue" color scheme and includes the ability to configure e-mail photo uploads. The redesign also has been built upon a fully updated architecture, which will allow the mobile MySpace experience to scale rapidly as more users discover m.myspace.com. The Web site is supported in 13 languages and localized for 29 countries.

The new applications will make MySpace the first social network with applications supported on all smart-phone platforms currently active in mobile social networking, according to the company. These include iPhone, Google Android, Sidekick, Nokia, Palm, and Blackberry. The announcement closely follows MySpace's introduction of support for the Symbian Foundation, which the company will join to help construct socially relevant context for developers using the platform.
