Flickr launches an official app for iPhone and it’s awesome

Flickr really knows how to do images well. Whether on the desktop or a mobile browser and now this stands true for an iPhone app as well because Flickr has really nailed it with its official app. Not only does it let you search and browse for images, you can upload photos and videos ( from iPhone 3G S ) along with geo-tagging. You can also stay up to date with your Flick contacts. All this in a wonderful app. And did I mention it’s free?

It’s rather a coincidence that this app has been launched a day before the Apple event tomorrow where new iPod Touch models are expected to be launched with cameras. If you are a Flickr user and own an iPhone or an iPod Touch, this is a must have application for you. It provides as good an experience as the website itself and you wouldn’t want to miss it.
