Flickrvision Mobile
There’s something mesmerizing about watching random pictures pop up across your computer screen. I’m sure many of you know about Flickrvision - a mashup of Flickr and Google Maps to render photos in real time across a world map. (There’s also Twittervision, which does the same with Twitter and Google Maps.) However these sites are not exactly mobile friendly.
Dave Troy, who brought us both the abovementioned mashups, has now released Flickrvision Mobile. It is quite spartan compared to its non-mobile counterpart, with a one-line text description of the location accompanying the picture, rather than full geographical visualization. But it achieves its purpose well — I was enthralled for several minutes when I first loaded it up on my Nokia E62.
Here’s a video of Flickrvision Mobile running on the N95 and E62. The photos load more quickly on the N95 because it’s using a WLAN connection, whereas E62 is connected via EGPRS. Video clip recorded with N93.
Flickrvision Mobile works great in the S60 browser. For some reason it doesn’t work with Opera Mini. And while it’s a fun idea, I wonder how long the fascination will last? Can you think of some uses for it other than killing time?

I couldn’t get mine to work on the N95. I’m thinking that it has something to do with Cingular’s media net. But I see that you have it working on the E62 so I could be wrong.
Hey Darla, like we discussed, it doesn’t work through the WAP access points but only through the Internet access points… and apparently you need to have subscribed to the appropriate data plan as well.
Have you tried WLAN?
works thru wlan for me … Dont even think about using this on a GPRS/EDGE network…coz the refresh rate is way too fast…any you’ll keep getting loading screens without any images
