Flickr has a new mobile website, which now works much better on the iPhone/iPod Touch. Located at m.flickr.com, the revamped mobile site is rich in JavaScript usage, assuring the whole page doesn’t refreshes that often. Rather, Yahoo-owned image service serves results in the same window, making photo sets easier to browse. In addition, all photos are automatically scaled to fit the screen. This sounds cool, but on the other hand it’s bad in that sense that you won’t be able to explore multiple photo sizes as you can from Flickr.com.

In a nutshell, mobile Flickr website is well worth bookmarking and I’ve no doubts iPhone users who at the same time rely on Flickr to store and share their photos will love the new design…
