@MWC: MySpace to update wireless site, announces support for Symbian

MySpace said it is overhauling its mobile site in an effort to grow its base of 20 million wireless users.
The popular social networking destination will launch an updated version of its wireless site later this week, adding new user interface elements for multimedia-friendly devices and enabling users to configure e-mail photo upload settings. The News Corp. subsidiary also updated the architecture, allowing “the mobile MySpace experience to scale rapidly as more users discover m.myspace.com.”
“We want our users to be able to access MySpace from any device,” MySpace Mobile General Manager John Faith said in a prepared statement. “We are committed to building apps for platforms we feel are groundbreaking to offer users the best possible on-the-go MySpace experience.”
The site also said it is working to build applications for both Palm’s new webOS and Nokia Corp.’s S60 Web runtime environment. MySpace recently announced support for Nokia’s Symbian, unveiling plans to join The Symbian Foundation to help construct “socially relevant context” for developers building to the platform.
MySpace claims 130 million users, including 76 million in the United States
