New Mobile Client with Tagging for Flickr

picturephoning.com: Geocoding Photos: The Future Is Now

Picturephoning has a story about Merkitys, a new Symbian app for Series
60 phones that let's you tag your pictures on the handset and upload
them to Flickr. It's a little hard to figure out who is behind this effort. Looks like they are affiliated with 3eyes, a UK-based consulting firm.

I'll have to give this a try. I've become quite fond of Shozu from Cognima since it makes the upload to Flickr and other sites effortless. Shozu however falls short on features to capture additional metadata. The best example of rich metadata capture on the handset is uLocate's GEOSnapper Mobile application. It is currently only available on Nextel cameraphones (since it uses the GPS chip) but not only does it capture location automatically, it also allows the user to download a set of tags to the phone that can be selected easily by the user.
