Following Google's shiny AJAX-featured Picasa Web Albums for the Apple iPhone, Zak Cohen, Software Engineer at the Google mobile team, started thinking if they can make an AJAX interface work on new Windows Mobile devices too? After all, Internet Explorer Mobile supports many of the advanced browser features that were used to build the iPhone version. The team wanted to give it a try and started to work on a Windows Mobile compatible version which the Google Mobile team is pleased to launch today. So far available for Windows Mobile 6 Classic and Professional devices (touchscreen) only, you can now enjoy a much faster and slicker way of browsing Picasa Web Albums on your device:

To try out Picasa Web Albums on your Windows Mobile 6 Professional/Classic devie, just go to picasaweb.google.com on your Internet Explorer Mobile browser and login your Picasa account.
