Cooliris iPhone app

It’s a shame we we haven’t mentioned the Cooliris iPhone app, so far. Those not familiar should know it’s an awesome-looking iPhone app designed to visually assist users to find, consume and share photos, videos and news. The app has been updated recently, and it now includes support for Microsoft’s Bing search engine, as well as the ever-so-popular Twitter — don’t expect the advanced Twitter functions, you can follow people and re-tweet what you read.

In addition to this, Cooliris says the upgraded app is more optimized, and is hence five times faster than the previous version, released last year. I haven’t tried that one, but the current Cooliris app is quite snappy. You can grab it for free from here. Or, even better, before doing so – check out the short demo video after the jump. Enjoy!
