Flash Lite Flickr Search

Reading Carol’s recent post about FlickrVision reminded me of a great Flash Lite application that can be used to search and view Flickr photos on S60 devices that have Flash Lite support.

The application was created by Justin Everett-Church that has been working with Flash for many years. You can Download the Flash Lite Flickr Search application here on Justin’s Flash Blog and copy it to your S60 device then search for any photos you like. Photos are shown four at a time in a nice slide show style. Many S60 3rd edition devices come pre-installed with Flash Lite support. Be sure to check this extensive list to see what devices have Flash Lite support pre-installed (they need to add the N95 with pre-installed Flash Lite support).

    Chris, Thanks for the link to Zurfer.

    I tried it out on the Nokia N93i and it works well. Zurfer is a Java application that allows you to more fully use Flickr functions (commenting, Adding as a Favorite, Viewing your contacts photos, etc.) where the Flash Lite Flickr Search is more of a quick search that just displays the photos.
