Apple launches MobileMe Gallery iPhone app

updated 05:50 pm EST, Thu January 14, 2010

New app displays galleries, photos, video

Apple has launched a new app for viewing Mobile Me galleries on the iPhone, MobileMe Gallery (free, App Store). Users enter a MobileMe name and password to get a list of albums from their own gallery and can browse others' as well. The gallery page has a list of albums with a preview picture and a scrolling set of random images at the top. Albums can be navigated with flicks back and forth and pinch to zoom. The app supports landscape playback for horizontal images and also plays back video clips.

Much of the deeper access is also the same and allows for password protected and hidden galleries. It also doesn't require an active Internet connection and, unlike the website, stores previously viewed photos for iPod owners or for iPhones off of the cellular grid.

MobileMe Gallery logically requires a MobileMe account and also needs a device with iPhone OS 3.1 or later, including all iPhone and iPod touch models released to date.

Sorry Apple, all 11 pages of apps are already full. I wish they would have integrated this into their iDisk app, as I just can't justify installing a whole other app just for this.

Apple has finally made-up for this glaring omission. I agree with the comment above, however, questioning why this couldn't have been part of the iDisk app. Regardless, better late than never.

Exactly, WiseWeasel. Why isn't this part of the Photos app?

Not idisk

It shouldn't be in the idisk app, since the idisk app is for people with an .mac account, not for people looking at other's .mac accounts.
