Next Generation Web: The New PicLens 1.7

We are thrilled to announce today’s launch of PicLens Version 1.7 with three exciting additions:

Discover

MSNBC, ESPN, movie trailers . . . Now the latest news in sports, entertainment, and current events is all just one click away. Look for the “Discover” button in the top left corner of the PicLens screen, and click on it for a list of media channels. Select any category, and a collection of the latest relevant images and videos will be at your fingertips. This information is refreshed as often as every 15 minutes, so feel free to revisit it as often as you like. Is there a channel that you would like to see? Just e-mail us back at feedback@cooliris.com and we’ll look into it.

Shop Amazon

Call it virtual window shopping. The power of PicLens has been put to work with Amazon.com. Just type your query into the PicLens search box, and choose a Amazon product category in the pull-down menu to refine your search. Voila! Now you can browse products visually. Zooming in on an image will give you details and price information. Click on the globe icon in the information bar, and you will be taken to the product webpage on Amazon, where you can find additional summaries and reviews and even make your purchase.

Return to PicLens

We heard you! Now you can minimize PicLens to a corner of your screen and come back later right where you left off, with one click. Want to jump to the corresponding webpage of an image or video and then toggle right back into PicLens? Click!

We can’t wait to hear your feedback on these exciting new features.
