Six ways to Jaiku on the run. Can you add more?

Jaikulogo News of the day seems to be Google's purchase of Twitter Jaiku, a microblogging / status update service. I've only dabbled around it, mostly to virtually attend a Nokia launch event. Like many others, I'll strongly consider moving to Jaiku over Twitter if there's value in the Google integration. So now that Jaiku is on everyone's mind, how can you use it while mobile?

1. Web - OK, that one's going to elicit a lot of "well, duh!" thoughts, but it does belong on the list if you have a full web browser while on the go. ;)
2. Juhu - if you around the town with a MacBook or MacBook Pro and you've got connectivity, Juhu is a nice light client for Mac OS X 10.4 to post your Jaiku updates.
3. Jaiku Mobile - this client is for Nokia devices running S60, so most of the N- and E-series devices are supported. A few standard Nokia handsets can also run Jaiku Mobile; here's a list.
4. SMS - a tried and true method that should work on most modern phones although this can get pricey if you're not on an unlimited messaging plan.
5. iPhone format - Yup, iPhone formatted sites are all the rage. Just point Safari at http://m.jaiku.com/ and become one with the group.
6. Widsets - We talked about these Java widgets in the past; in fact, I was using the Twitter widget on my Dash for a while. If your smartphone or standard handset is supported, this might be the way to go.

I'm certain there are plenty of other methods to Jaiku, so add 'em in the comments. Choice is good! BTW: I haven't decided if I'm moving to Jaiku even though I just took a full month off from Twitter; you can follow my indecision on Jaiku at "KevinCTofel". I suspect we'll see quite a bit of migration over to Jaiku, but I'm not sold just yet.
