According to a recent e-mail message, the redesign makes MySpace Mobile “faster and easier” to use than ever. New or enhanced features include text alerts, photo uploads and video. Here’s more:

• Update Your Status by SMS – Update your status by texting it to MYSPC (69772) and your status is instantly updated on MySpace!
• Text Alerts – Get free instant text messages sent to your phone whenever you receive new MySpace messages, comments or friend requests.
• Photo Uploads – Want to instantly send photos from your phone to MySpace? MySpace makes it easy. Here’s how.
• Video – Now you can view videos on m.myspace.com. Here’s how.

Of course, some of these only work on select phones.

With MySpace losing the desktop war to Facebook, it’ll be interesting to see if they can fight them off via mobile devices. If you believe the social network with the most people actively using the site wins, then MySpace is dead on any device.
