While there are other apps designed to work with the iPhone and Flickr, now there's one backed by the photo-sharing site itself. The app, which is free and available for download at the App Store,, promises the following:

* Share your photos, from your phone.
Set your photos free with Flickr®, an extraordinary award-winning online photo service, now on your mobile. Take photos on your phone, upload to the Flickr website, and share with the people that mean the most. It’s photo sharing on the go; from your phone -- to the world.

* Stay connected with your people, with photos.
With Flickr, see what’s new with friends and family through up-to-the-minute photos -- viewed right from your phone. Get access to their photos, anywhere, anytime, from any mobile device. Make comments, mark your favorites, tag photos -- you’ll see your people in a whole new light.

* Watch the world, wherever you are.
View the world through the Flickr community -- some of the world’s best photographers -- wherever you are. You’ll have access to the world as you’ve never seen it, with a wealth of fresh, new photos added daily. Be inspired by art in Tibet, a sunrise in Fiji, a baby at the beach. Give photos the attention -- and exposure -- they deserve.

The Flickr application requires an iPhone or iPod touch running at least iPhone OS 3.0.
