Nokia isn't exactly running short on photo browsing apps on its phones but Nokia's Beta Labs has just announced a new app that is in early stages of development called Nokia Photo Browser.
Nokia Photo Browser has native support S60 5th Edition phones like the Nokia 5800 and the Nokia N97 and uses a slick interface to make navigating your images a lot easier to manage.
At this stage Nokia Photo Browser is very limited and doesn't really compete with the other photo tools already in circulation for the 5800. However, it does show a couple of new technologies in operation that we're guessing will play a major role in any future releases.
The new technologies include ‘Face Browsing’, whihc makes browsing through folders for a specific person a lot easier, while ‘MagGlass’ allows you to zoom in on image details. Judging from the video tat has been releeased with the app they work exceedingly well, even at this early stage of development.
The Beta Lab boys say that a version for the S60 3rd edition is in the pipeline and will be with us shortly.
Works well on the S60 5th edition devices including Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and N97. The support for the S60 3rd edition is coming soon.
