How To: Google Buzz from Windows Mobile and Android

February 13, 2010 3:02 pm By 17 Comments

Google BuzzGoogle’s Buzz is doing quite well so far, but in many ways it seems to have been rushed to market. It’s crazy that you can access a Google service from only a specific version of Android (2.X). While the iPhone has full support, if you own an Android 1.5 or 1.6 or a Windows Mobile phone you are out of luck. Well, that is until now…

Jay Glogovsky posted a link in a Google Buzz post that will actually allow you to use the service on platforms that are not currently supported.

I present the “Link of Golden Awesomeness”: https://m.google.com/app/buzz/#~buzz:view=nearby

So far I have tested this on Windows Mobile and Android 1.5 and it works well. For Windows Mobile it did not seem to work in the default browser; I was using Opera Mobile 10 beta 3 and it worked just fine. In Android I just used the default browser with no problem.

So, start buzzing from the road, even if you aren’t iPhoning it!

If you try this on another phone and it works let us know and we will mention it in this post.

    Oh boy, this is from 7+ months ago. Your best bet is to just use twitter and have buzz pull the content from there. You don’t need any third party solution to do that.

    Thanks for your reply!
    Not using twitter. Don’t intend to… The Buzz Layer for Google Maps was working perfect. As an iPhone application, the layer exists in Google Maps.
