MySpace is looking to cater to mobile phone users with their new ad-supported mobile version of the social network which launched today at mobile.myspace.com.  It'll be free for users and will work on all U.S. carriers.  MySpace has become such a phenomenon and ranks as one of the most visited sites globally, it makes sense for News Corp. to develop a mobile version.
