I am not a Google Buzz user, but if you happen to be one, this could be very welcome news, if you were not an Android 2.0+ and iPhone user.

Back in February Google launched is Twitter/Facebook competitor, a.k.a. Google Buzz, which was deployed to all GMail users.

On the mobile side, the service is available for Android 2.0+ and iPhone users; now you will have a chance to play with Buzz even if you are an Android pre-2.0, Blackberry, Nokia S60, Windows Mobile, and Palm webOS devices, thanks to an XHTML version of Google Buzz website that can be accessed from many mobile devices

Here is the Google Mobile Blog post:

Google Buzz for mobile now available on more devices

Thursday, May 27, 2010 | 10:25 AM

Back in February, we launched Google Buzz for mobile, a tool to start interesting conversations when you are out and about. One of the most popular ways to access Google Buzz for mobile is through the web application (by going to buzz.google.com in your phone’s browser). When Buzz launched, it was only available for devices running Android 2.0+ and iPhone. Not any more! Today we’re a releasing an XHTML version of the Buzz website which can be accessed from many other mobile devices, including those running Android pre-2.0, Blackberry, Nokia S60, and Windows Mobile.

Just type buzz.google.com in your browser. Then when you log in using your password, you will be able to view the stream of buzz posts, post publicly or privately, comment or like a post, and more. On the BlackBerry platform, you can also enable location through your browser settings. This will allow you to get to the Nearby view, where you’ll find geo-tagged posts near you. In addition, you can tag your post with your location. Please note that location features might not work on some devices.

Android pre-2.0 devices can now run the same web app as newer versions of Android. You can also switch to the XHTML version if needed, and we will remember your preference.

We have worked hard to make Google Buzz for mobile accessible on more devices in more locations. It is now available in 37 languages through buzz.google.com and we’re excited to bring it to mobile devices with browsers that don’t support the HTML5 capabilities the webapp uses. We hope that you enjoy using Google Buzz on the go!

Update 5/27/2010 11:17: This new webpage is also functional on Palm WebOS phones

As I told you I am not a Buzz user, but I would prefer a dedicated app with notifications, instead of having to give a look to my browser every 5 minutes. What do you think?

Clinton Fitch has done a fantastic job with his latest review: F1 2010 Timing App for iPhone and iPad.  Clinton has been using F1 2010 Timing on his iPhone and has nothing but good things to say about both the sport of racing and the program.

Race fans – start your engines and check out Clinton’s review here.

We have recently given a look to the first DropBox client for good ol’ Windows Mobile, and it turns out that a new, free project is ready to do the same thing, courtesy of XDA-Developers.

We gave a look to CloudFiles by Ruttensoft, and found it really worth a try, as it gives support to the DropBox service.

Now, a new project called DroppedBoxx by XDA-Developers forum member “d1k_is” will allow you to browse DropBox files and folders, download and upload files, shot and upload photos, with the added bonus of being a free product.

Currently folders syncing is not supported.

You can download the installer from here (you will need to be a registered XDA-Developers forum member).

Free is always a great thing, but you will have to check and see if DroppedBoxx will fit your needs, as it is still in its infancy. Here are the features and known issue:

So I’ve been working on a DropBox client for Windows Mobile called "DroppedBoxx".
I’m after some feedback on it so far and possibly some testers…

Features (Currently)

• Login (of course)
• Browse Dropbox files and folders
• Download Files
• Download then email
• Upload files
• Take photo and upload
• Delete Dropbox Files

Features (Future)

• Copy/move files around dropbox
• Sync Folders
• Record audio and upload
• Create new Folder
• Display account usage
• Track application (self) usage

Known Issues

• File Menu doesn’t always position correctly when switching landscape <-> portrait
• Random Image Upload corruption…

So, go grab a copy and start testing DroppedBoxx.

Question of the Day:  How do you celebrate Memorial Day weekend?

It’s the unofficial start to summer, at least in my house.  School’s out and plans are starting to take shape.  What fun times  lie in front of us.  We get to start the coming months with a holiday weekend – Memorial Day weekend.

Fellow JAMMer’s, how will you be spending the weekend?  Reading JAMM hopefully, while spending some time with your family and friends.  Myself, we’ll be spending some time with my wife’s side of the family.

Hit the comments and let us know your plans!
