New iPad Photo App: Portfolio To Go

Description from the AppStore: Portfolio To Go is the perfect app for artists and photographers who want to take their Flickr portfolio... to go!
Portfolio To Go just requires your Flickr ID and it then syncs your Flickr photosets locally to your iPhone or iPad (runs natively full screen).
Just leave Portfolio To Go to run once and each time it displays a photo is also caches the image. Once all galleries and images are cached you can view your portfolio without an internet connection. Perfect for use with iPad Wi-fi - sync and go.
Portfolio To Go really shines with iPad - the perfect way to demo your product.
Portfolio To Go supports all orientations for the iPhone and iPad. If you're viewing a portrait image then just flip the device to portrait and the image will fill the screen. Same for landscape.
Want your own iPhone and iPad App to advertise directly to your clients? Using Portfolio To Go we can create crossplatform iPhone/iPod/iPad apps that automatically synchronize with your Flickr portfolio and include additional features such as:
- Allow your users to save their favourite photos while browsing
- Your own custom 'About me' screen which can include in-app url links and your artist photo
- Your own unique app, description and icon that will appear in the AppStore that you can link to directly - ie your own Portfolio-To-Go App.
Search for 'Nicole Carman' to find an example of an app 'Powered by Portfolio To Go'

If you looking for an app which caches low-resolution images from your Flickr account while incessantly crashing during the cache process, this app's for you!!
Sounds interesting. What if you dont have that much time to plan in advance and get onto the Flickr accout to download photos to the app?
Flexfolios is a new mobile ipad app that offers users the ability to build multiple portfolios and organize images and files, already upladed to the app) into on the go presentations. No need for Web. I like Flickr and its a smart tool for photos. Upi can upload Flickr to Flexfolios as well..
Another good app for showing your photo album, or online albums (Flickr etc) is the iphone application Slideways. Very nice slideshow which uses the Ken Burns effect. Haven't seen it reviewed on this site yet.
