LONDON - Social network MySpace has launched its free MySpace Mobile application for Android devices in the UK, following its launch in the US.

The long-awaited T-Mobile G1 mobile phone, the first phone to run on the open source Android platform developed by Google, launched in T-Mobile shops in the UK this week.

The new Android integration allows instant photo uploading from an Android phone to a MySpace profile and access to the latest shows from users' favourite bands on MySpace.

The MySpace Android application is integrated with Shazam, the mobile music service that allows MySpace users to identify music by holding the phone toward an unknown song and connect to the artist's MySpace page.

MySpace's mobile lineup includes the MySpace mobile website, http://m.myspace.com and applications for Android, Sidekick, iPhone, and is currently developing an application for Blackberry.
