Nokia has released a new Beta version of Nokia Photo Browser for its new touch enabled models n97 and Nokia 5800. The software provides a good UI for browsing images stored in your phone. It has face detection capability and also comes with a “MagGlass” magnifier. The MagGlass magnifier is said to make image zooming to feel and look more real and analog.
I have just as of now watched the Youtube video of the application. Can't really say if it would give very smooth effects, they might optimise it once its ready to be out from beta. Chances are that it might come preinstalled on Nokia N97 devices tobe launched later this year in June.
And I stongly feel such applications should be made available and people would be expecting more. However, the question still remains is this innovation - as you can see the effects are very much similar to Cooliris extension for firefox. I believe Nokia can and should bring out something unique to its platform. Also it would be great if they start exposing these effects and oethr features to developers as API. So that more and more quality application can be build upon this new platform.
Anyways, I am eager to try it out, but will have to wait till they start supporting other 3rd edition devices. They will soon release a version to support other 3rd edition phones. The current release is a prototype application and not a release version. You can download the software from here.
