Does your Blackberry do enough for you? RIM thinks it could do just a tiny more, so it released an official mobile Flickr uploader for Blackberry handsets. The program grants Flickr-Blackberry hybrid addicts to snap photos, tag/geo-tag pics, place pics in albums, and adjust photo sizes. When you’re all set and ready, posting the pic is a matter of a few button presses.We advocate Flickr users with Blackberry handsets at least try it since it’s free, and we can envision the service being useful in a wide variety of situations including blogging, of course. It’s probably more useful as a toy than a tool — an simple way to share vacation photos on-the-go, great concert moments, fun party events, etc.
This is quite different from RIM’s usual behavior, which is centered around productivity and business rather than recreation. The program’s existence is likely a response to the recent surge of very special services accompanying successful, fun-based handsets (Sidekick, Helio Ocean, LG Voyager, iPhone, etc). Though it’s not the most astonishing thing to come from RIM, at least it’s better than a useless MySpace app or another YouTube uploader… been there, done that, not impressed.
