MySpace launches Android application

MySpace has created an Android application offering mobile access to its website to coincide with the UK release of the G1 Google phone.

The application will be available for free download on the
Android Market - similar to the iPhone users' Apple Store - in anticipation of the official launch of the T-Mobile G1 in the UK.

MySpace is a natural fit for an optimized mobile experience, as users will now be able to access MySpace on the go. The MySpace Android application allows general MySpace access, instant photo uploads, and tour schedules and band profiles.

The new application also uses
Shazam technology, which allows users to identify music by holding the phone towards an unknown song, which will then connect the user to the artist's MySpace page.

The MySpace Android integration has been one of the most download applications in the US marketplace since launch last week.
