Nokia Photo Browser is in Beta labs!

Just saw the Nokia Photo browser is in the Beta lasbs now.

The Nokia Photo Browser is photo browsing application as name suggest. It’s
designed to be easy to use application, when ever you want quickly browse
through your images. User interface is designed to give fast access to all you
images. Photo browsing should be fun! That is why Photo Browser introduces new
ways to do photo viewing like; “Face browsing” which uses face detection
technology to find people faces from pictures and just by finger flick you can
browse people faces in image. Other cool feature is “MagGlass” magnifier, which
makes image zooming to feel and look more real and analog.

The application behaves well enough on my Nokia N97 proto, however I feel the time - imaging time can be reduced to obtain far better level of usability. Imagine this application's functionality with the multiple core processors that are being proposed for the future mobile models.

Although the application is still in beta and available for only 5th edition devices, I see a lot of potential from this Nokia's step further. "Design" is the keyword that Nokia should be focussing on in the forthcoming months, if I guess correct.

Nokia is currently working on the 3rd edition version of this application - yes, they do focus more on 5th edition these days - 3rd edition devices should be down marketted after a year (same fate as 2nd edition devices) when newly proposed 5th edition devices make their place.
Oh and here is a video demo for you to enjoy,
