Cooliris is a great app and all the excellent reasons for using it have already been listed in this blog. However, I downloaded the iPhone version and I must say, the marriage of the two in regards to functionality and mapping is a nice match!
Without even peeking at any instructions or looking at the help file, I did a search for "flowers" and hit submit. The windows as demonstrated in class on the browser version of Cooliris came up, and when I tipped my iPhone at an angle, the windows began to move on their own. As I increased the angle slightly, the speed of the windows picked up as if they were rolling by gravity. The thumbnailed pictures rolled by quickly, and the ones that were videos had the little "play" symbol on them.
I tried dragging through the windows with my finger and that worked as in all other applications. When I put my finger on a picture, it showed the name of the picture, the URL of its parent page and also view options. Also available were icons to email the picture's URL and to download the picture itself.
I am quite glad this one won.
