Google Updates: Mobile Gmail gets Google Buzz integration

http://google-yahoo-msn-update.blogspot.com/
For those of you who might be unaware, Buzz is Google's new foray into the burgeoning social networking arena with the likes of Facebook and Twitter. The full-featured version of service now lives in Gmail, but to the disappointment of Buzz fans and indifference of many critics this had not been translated to mobile devices. Fine, that just changed... a little bit, at least.

Starting today, Gmail users will be greeted with a more and more feature-rich client on their mobile devices using the service's standard web interface. A few of the biggest changes are the ability to comment on and reply to posts directly from the Gmail inbox and 'liking' posts. You can also still utilize the stand-alone web based client at buzz.google.com, though there is no word on any official native apps.

While the iPhone as well as Android platforms are definitely supported, it is also rumored other platforms might work. Any Blackberry, Palm Pre or Windows Mobile users out there care to confirm? Visit Gmail on your mobile device and let us know.
