Sneak Peek: Picasa for Blackberry allows geotag of images, much more

Sneak Peek: Picasa for Blackberry allows geotag of images, much moreOver at Berryreview.com, they’ve had a chance to scope out the new Picasa Web Albums Uploader for Blackberry. While the older “version” of Picasa for Blackberry was just a glorified landing page, this new application has plans to do a lot more:

  • Add any picture to the correct album, add tags, or adjust its size prior to uploading
  • Upload any picture to Picasa Web Albums
  • If you’re using a BlackBerry smartphone with GPS capabilities you can also geotag images so that people who look at your pictures can tell where they’re taken. (Of course, it will only list the location at which the photo was uploaded, so if you upload a picture of that alien aircraft you snapped at Area 51 after you get home to Kennebunkport, your friends will think your photo is a fraud). To properly geotag an image (and avoid disbelief), you should complete the uploading process from the same location the picture was taken.

No release date as of yet, but if you want to be the first to know, you can become a member of the Blackberry Owners Lounge, and they’ll let you know as soon as Picasa for Blackberry is available.
