Flickr from your mobile device built using the Flickr APIs. Once installed it gives you the possibility to shoot your photo and add title, tags and description, manage sets and groups from the same applications with optimal user experience and to post the shooted photo on your blog.

Things to note are that this application is open source, it’s in beta, and I haven’t tried it myself so if it doesn’t work, don’t blame me. I’m just happy that someone is out there creating an alternative. I never liked the one application to rule them all mentality, competition encourages innovation. I don’t have a camera phone, and as much as I would like a Nokia N95 or N93, I really want my QWERTY keyboard. Tough love I guess.

It allows you to add title, tags and description, manage Flickr sets and groups from within the application on your mobile device and upload them to your blog defined in your Flickr account. It also supports Bluetooth GPS reciever for geotagging.

    I stalled Mobup on my Nokia N93 and it works perfectly, configuration is a walk in the park, just like (among other features) tagging (using my existing flickr taglist). Recommended.
