GHENT, Belgium, November 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Netlog, Europe's leading social networking platform, has launched an application for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch.

Members can download the Netlog application onto their iPhone or iPod Touch to keep in touch with their network of friends wherever they go. The application allows them to connect with new people, send and receive messages, check and sign guestbooks and update their shouts.

By using the built-in GPS location capability of the iPhone, users can give their precise geographical details whenever they update their status. Users are also able to upload pictures from their devices onto Netlog.

Since Apple launched the iPhone, consumers have become very interested in possibilities of the mobile web. Providing them with a Netlog application - our first ever native mobile application - was the next step, so we are very happy that the application met with Apple's rigorous standards, said Lorenz Bogaert, CEO of Netlog.

He continued: Our aim was to combine the strength and popularity of the Netlog platform with the flexibility of the iPhone and iPod Touch. This takes us fully into the mobile age, and opens up the network to a wider range of on-the-go opportunities.

The application can be downloaded free from the iTunes store or from the Netlog site from Wednesday 19th November.
