    Google Retools Picasa for iPhone Users
    By Bryan Gardiner December 12, 2007 | 8:14:09

    You can now add Picasa to the list of iPhone (and presumably the iPod
    Touch)-optimized services that Google is rolling out the door of
    late.

    On Wednesday, the company announced that it decided to wave the magic
    mobile OSX wand over its popular photo-sharing site after discovering
    that there were "some very cool AJAXy features," which were designed
    only (gasp) with a "desktop web-browsing experience in mind." Not for
    long!

    As Joe Walnes, a software engineer at Google writes on the company's
    mobile blog:

    Today, I'm happy to tell you that we've just released this new iPhone
    interface for Picasa. After you go to Picasa on your iPhone and log
    in, you can quickly see all your albums that you've uploaded to Picasa
    web. If you click on any of the albums, you can get a full view of
    your picture with comments from your friends. Or you can click on
    Slideshow, sit back and watch the pictures scroll. You can also search
    for photos in your album or through community photos. Finally, with
    one of my favorite features, you can view your friends' albums through
    favorites.
    Additionally, Walnes says pictures can be displayed in both landscape
    and portrait mode (you know, like all other web pages on the iPhone).
    It's also probably worth mentioning that Picasa has an iPhoto plugin
    that will automatically whisk your pictures from iPhoto and put them
    into Google's free photo sharing service.

    If you missed the news last week, the newly optimized Picasa actually
    comes only days after Google announced a new streamlined core menu for
    iPhone users as well.

    As such, the new mobile friendly Picasa has been duly added to the
    "More" tab on Google's iPhone-optimized homepage...or you can simply
    go to: http://picasaweb.google.com.

    As we said before: More iPhone optimizing = more Android practice.
    Expect more of the same in the coming weeks, especially as Google's
    software engineers are softly "encouraged" to devote their 20 percent
    to all things mobile.

    More old technology. Someday they might catch up to the real world- if the
    phone lasts that long.
