Google debuts iPhone-, iPod touch-optimized Picasa
Friday, December 14, 2007 - 08:10 AM EDT

"If you've ever picked up an iPhone, you know that it's great for showing off digital photos. iPhones have a high-resolution screen that's big, bright, and crisp, and a first-class web browser that supports complex web technologies like AJAX. Put these two together, and it's probably fair to say that Apple's iPhone offers one of the best platforms for experiencing the mobile version of Picasa Web Albums," Karen Groenink, Google User Experience Designer, blogs for The Official Google Photos Blog.

Groenink reports, "Today, we're happy to tell you about an extra bonus for iPhone users who visit the mobile version of Picasa Web Albums. You'll see that we've completely redesigned and optimized the interface specifically for iPhones. Pictures are proportioned to fit the iPhone's screen dimensions, and we've tweaked the key buttons so they're easier to navigate with your fingertips. Best of all, we've launched a new iPhone-only slideshow feature that automatically flips through your favorite photo albums."

Google's iPhone-optimized version of Picassa is here.

or switchers, I am using iPhoto, but I still have a lot of pictures in Picasa web, and they have a great free plugin that you can up load to Picasa web using iPhoto , it does about the same thing as "Web Gallery" but does not require a .Mac membership

Who wouldn't want to be touch optimized?

Here's a DIY touch optimization kit:
• a bottle of cheap whiskey
• a portable belt sander
• a 16 oz. tube of lotion with aloe
