We've just released version 1.5 of the Radar application for your Windows Mobile, RIM BlackBerry, or Java Powered mobile phone. All the great new features recently released on Radar.net are now available on-the-go, anytime and anywhere. You'll see the changes when you view the details of a picture:

A new picture toolbar has been added with the same tools available on the website. From left to right:

Select the star to "Like" a picture, or click it again if you change your mind. The Like It count is updated in real-time and is displayed both in the picture details below the toolbar as well as on the list views.

Select the "Share" button to control who gets to see your picture. All the choices from the website are available in the dropdown list, including the new "public" option. You can make pictures public and send them in email to anyone directly from your phone. And of course the same privacy controls you've used in the past are still available. If you choose "some friends" from the dropdown list, you'll be able to choose the friends and groups who can see your picture just as before.

Select the "Fullscreen" button to see just the picture, rotated and scaled to best fit your screen. This is great for showing off your pictures on the beautiful new QVGA displays found on the latest and greatest mobile phones.

The rest of the tools, Report, Rotate, and Delete function just as they do on the website.

Scroll down a bit further, and you'll see the new comment options. If you're looking at a friend's picture, you can whisper a private comment that only you and your friend will see. Or, if the picture is public, you can add your comments to the open discussion.

If you're running the Radar mobile application on your Java Powered phone, you should get an automatic upgrade notification the next time you launch it. Otherwise, please visit http://radar.net in your mobile browser, log in, and download the new version today.

Enjoy.

Hi, I can't seem to find the link to the java app when I go to the site using my phone. It's a Nokia E61. Where can I get it?

Great an innovative Idea.

Francis Li September 22, 2007

To Indian Stallion: we're working on a build for the E61 to support its keyboard and hope to have it available soon.

To Eric Vargas: indeed, an iPhone/iPod Touch app would be very cool, that's all I'll say for now ;).

Hi kenny,

The Radar mobile application does not currently run on Verizon branded phones. Please continue to use Radar in your mobile browser!

Sincerely,
Francis
