author: editor category: TechCrunch

57093v1-max-250x250 Simplify Media, the music streaming startup based out of Redwood City, Calif., has launched a new application on the App Store called Simplify Photos. [iTunes Link] With the new Simplify Photos application, users will be able to access a digital photo library on a home computer to access them anytime, anywhere on their iPhone, iPod Touch, or laptop.

Essentially, the application connects to your home computer and syncs batches of photos over to your iPhone, so you can view the photos on the go. In order to get the photos over, you need to have both Simplify Photos running on your computer, and your iPhone/iPod Touch, and the syncing process will begin. The photos are never stored on the iPhone/iPod Touch, and this brings a big advantage of the application — this frees up gigabytes of space on your iPhone/iPod Touch, since you never have to store the photos on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Simplify Photos lets users browse photos by folder and timeline, or GPS location on a map, view thumbnails, individual photos or slideshow, access iPhoto albums, events, faces and places, search by tags, comments, title or description. On the computer side, users can see shared photos or albums from other people’s computers who have shared with you through iPhoto, browse by folder and timeline, or GPS location on a map, import photos into other applications via Windows Explorer, share within a private network instead of uploading to a website.

You can read more about Simplify Photos on the Simplify Media blog. Simplify Photos is $0.99 and available from the App Store today. Below you’ll find a demo video of the new application.
