Welcome to the Gallery: Cooliris Brings Its Multimedia Experience to Google’s Nexus One
Google’s highly anticipated Nexus One smartphone is here! And it’s packaged with an innovative new way to browse media: Gallery, a smooth and intuitive application for photo and video navigation developed by Cooliris.
Managing your media on a mobile phone can be a drag – we’re accustomed to frequently taking photos and videos on the go, but finding those hallmark moments again can be a time-consuming process. The Gallery reinvents mobile media with the streamlined and visually stunning media interface that you’ve come to expect from Cooliris.
As the first native mobile application to simplify browsing, sharing, and editing media, Gallery is designed for quick and easy photo and video scanning. Check out our video below to see features like these:
- You can sort your media into digital stacks by date, time, and even location (if geotagging is enabled), making it easy to find photos by when and where you took them.
- Scroll quickly by date, view your photos in automated slideshows, and zoom into any photo.
- Edit photos right on the Nexus One.
- Share photos by text message, Bluetooth, Gmail, or Picasa.
- The Gallery can sync with Picasa albums, allowing users to dynamically download existing albums from their desktops or Picasa, or upload new material to Picasa albums from their Nexus One.
The Gallery is native to (and currently exclusive to) the Nexus One, but its development gave our engineers an exciting look into the extensive capabilities of the Android platform’s new 2.1 OS. “Cooliris delivers products and experiences that make the web more exciting, cool and useful for consumers,” said Andy Rubin, Google’s Vice President. “The Gallery, developed by Cooliris, is a perfect example of how the Android platform can be leveraged to create differentiated experiences on smartphones and other devices.”
Cooliris became a member of the Open Handset Alliance during development of the Gallery, joining other major technology and mobile companies who aim to offer consumers a richer and minimally expensive experience on the Android platform.
For those of you at CES, the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas this week, we’ll be there from the 6th to the 9th. If you’d like to set up a meeting with us, feel free to email jenny@cooliris.com.
Get ready for a whole new mobile media experience: it’s never been easier to share and manage your photos and videos than it is on the brand new Nexus One. www.cooliris.com/androidgallery

Hi Patrick,
To sync your Gmail/Picasa accounts, pull up the applications menu and select Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account. Once you add it, you can go back to the Accounts & sync menu and click on the account to customize the features that you want to sync on that account, including Picasa Web Albums. Hope this helps!

Hello, very cool but my favorite feature of cooliris on the dekstop is its ability to search and browse web galleries like google images and bing. When will we be able to search the web with cooliris for Android instead of only saved pictures on our phone? Will the Android version slowly catch up with the iPhone version in terms of features? thanks

Its lovely, it worked for the first three days of owning my nexus, now it opens for about 10-20 seconds before crashing with an error message, which hasn’t had an official response from the nexus one help site:

Would really like it to work tonight when I show my friends what I have been taking pics of and how cool my new phone is, especially to the iphone users… a well…

I think the app is truly breathtaking. But (sorry, developer here) what appealed to me the most was the attention to the little details, like the menus. I know that the android interface builder is not up to what you delivered at the moment. Did you get access to a special toolset to build the interface?
