Much as we like sharing photos online, we know that sharing photos with the friend who’s right next to you is even better. That’s why we launched a high-end mobile version of Picasa Web Albums for the iPhone back in December, followed by a version for Windows Mobile Pro in April. Both platforms make it easy to carry your entire photo collection in your pocket.
Today, we’re happy to say that our high-end mobile experience now includes the tens of millions of people around the world using S60 3rd Edition phones — a panoply of devices that includes all the latest smartphones from Nokia. Here’s what our S60 experience looks like:
Of course, sharing photos around the world is easier when you speak the local language, so we’re equally proud to announce support for 36 new languages in our mobile interface. (We cheated just a bit: You may notice we’ve judiciously replaced some text buttons with universal icons.)
We also took this opportunity to refresh and improve our iPhone and Windows Mobile support. Starting today, iPhone users can try our new zoom feature — just tap the magnifying glass icon. This loads a higher-resolution page, where you can use those wonderful finger gestures for zooming and panning, like so:

According to Microsoft’s mobile communications business international marketing director (phew) John Starkweather, Redmond is in talks with the folks from Finland about getting Windows Mobile onto Nokia handsets. “They obviously have significant investments in Symbian but there are a lot of places where we have significant synergies and we would love to see the day where those synergies would extend completely with Windows Mobile,” said Starkweather, though he couldn’t say when or if any agreement will be met. “We work closely with Nokia and we would love to have them go all the way,” Starkweather said. “It’s something we talk about all the time.”
