Apple Releases MobileMe Gallery App for iPhone

One of my biggest gripes with MobileMe was that there was no way to easily access my gallery from the iPhone. Today, Apple released a new app that does just that - introducing MobileMe Gallery. My favorite feature so far is that the app saves photos you look at for offline access at a later date. Here are the full details:

Just enter your MobileMe member name and password to see a list of your albums and movies. A scrolling sampler at the top of the app gives you easy access to recent photos. Select an album with a tap and then flick back and forth through photos, pinch to zoom, or rotate your iPhone to landscape view. MobileMe Gallery app automatically stores photos you've viewed, so you can view them again even if you don't have a network connection. To view a friend's gallery, simply choose their name from your contacts or enter their MobileMe member name and you'll get instant access to their publicly shared photos, too. Features

• View your entire gallery including password protected and hidden albums
• Flick through photos and pinch to zoom in for more detail
• View your friends' gallery photos and movies
• Access previously viewed photos when offline
• Easily share a link to an album from iPhone

The app requires iPhone OS 3.1 and later
