Upload photos directly from Series 60 and Windows Mobile phones to Picasa

Google has not yet come up with a mobile uploader for Series 60 and Windows Mobile phones for Picasa Web Albums. They have a uploader only for the iPhone as of now. For the others, the way to go was, download Picasa on your computer, transfer the photos and videos from your phone to the computer and then upload, or directly upload from a computer.

www.shozu.com offers a great service to do this. You can directly upload photos from a host of mobile phones (Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericson and others running S60 and Windows Mobile) directly to Picasa. You need to download the application to your phone, and also activate it. In the activation part for Picasa, you have to grant Shozu access to your Google Account. You can stop their access anytime you want. You can add photos only to your existing Picasa Web Albums, so make a Mobile Upload folder in advance if you want, after which you can always organize your photos and make folders when you use a computer.

You can also upload video's directly to YouTube with Shozu. It really works, and its absolutely free! (except for the data transfer charges by your operator or internet provider).
