14 DAY TRIAL // The Nokia Beta Labs has recently announced yet another application that has been developed to leverage even more the user experience of those who own a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic mobile phone, as well as for those who have another Nokia S60 5.0 phone that comes with touchscreen capabilities, just like the flagship model, the Nokia Photo Browser.
The new application, just as its name suggests, is meant to allow users to browse through their images. But that is not all there is to the new Nokia Photo Browser. While offering an easy-to-use image browsing solution to anyone who has a compatible device, the new app is also able to offer speed whenever it is needed.
“Photo browsing should be fun!” is what the development team says, while also adding that the new Nokia Photo Browser has been designed to offer users new ways of viewing their photos, including “Face browsing,” a feature that makes use of the face detection technology to be able to find peoples' faces from pictures.
One more nice thing that the “Face browsing” allows users to do is to browse through people’s faces in an image via the simple flickering of the fingers. The Photo Browser also comes with a feature that is called “MagGlass” magnifier, which has been developed so as to make the image zooming feel much more real and analog than before.
One thing that the development team says about its new application is that it is still in the works and, as such, it comes with limitations. Yet, future versions are to come with improvements and new features. While the current release only works with Symbian S60 5th Edition, a version for the 3rd Edition will also become available in the near future. In the meantime, those who own an S60 5.0 handset with touchscreen capabilities are invited to try out the application and provide the team with feedback so that they would know what needs to be fixed or added.
