According to Reuters, Oz Communications of Montreal will announce on Wednesday a new product that will let users access social network sites with their cellphones.

Company CEO Skuli Morgensen said:

"Clearly the user experience will not be the same as on a desktop (computer)," Mogensen said in an interview. "But the mobile phone has other attributes that are so appealing we think it will fly."

The growing use of cellphones embedded with digital cameras will encourage its use as a device to share photos and video on the spot, he said.
