Vodafone and MySpace create partnership

MySpace.com and Vodafone have announced an exclusive partnership to offer Vodafone customers a MySpace experience via their mobile phones. The deal marks the first extension of Fox Interactive Media's network of sites into the European mobile marketplace.

Launching first in the UK, the partnership will enable Vodafone customers to access MySpace Mobile, allowing them to edit their own MySpace profiles, find and add friends, post photos and blogs and send and receive MySpace messages while on the move.

MySpace Mobile will be pre-loaded on future, selected Vodafone handsets to offer customers an 'out of the box' experience, and available for download from Vodafone live!.

MySpace Mobile on Vodafone provides what the companies describe as "most compelling MySpace features and functionality". It also enables people to keep in touch via mobile with their MySpace friends on the web.

The features include upload and view photos, respond to mail, manage and view friends, post blog entries and comments.
