MySpace-Mobile With all the hype surrounding the anticipated approval of the Facebook 3.0 app, I was curious of what the competitor was offering. After a bit of digging around in the iTunes Store, I located MySpace Mobile for the iPhone.

While MySpace and Facebook continue to battle for new users, it’s clear that the battleground has moved to the mobile platform.

MySpace Mobile for the iPhone/Touch is free and quite an interesting application. It’s the best of MySpace anytime, anywhere:

Send and receive messages and comments
Update mood and status
Browse photo albums
Check out profiles
Add new friends
Read and post blogs and so much more!

The home page has everything, in some way. You can view your profile, friend updates, your comments, and bulletins, change your status, and even search users. Mail is similar, allowing you to view your mailboxes much like the normal Mail app. Requests are a breeze, and you can search through your friends without difficulty. Your photos are viewable with the Photos button, and can be viewed. There’s also a button at the top to update your status, and that seems a bit redundant, but I never updated my status anyway, obviously.

Comments are simple, which is quite the relief. You can view your wall or the walls of other people simply by going there from their profile, and select certain comments to view. Each comment window gives you the option of Commenting back, Messaging, et cetera. Just like the regular site, except much more concise.

Overall, the application is extraordinarily thorough and sleek. It fully took on the task of allowing a user complete access to their page, but surprisingly users can’t edit their profile from the application.
