Overview
Nokia Image Exchange is an experimental image gallery to make browsing
and sharing images fun and easy. It aims to provide a seamless
integration of a mobile image gallery application and a corresponding
web-service. Image Exchange explores user experience when the mobile
phone is enabled with an always-on data connection and utilizes
existing contact information as a basis for social networking.
A few notable highlights include: automatic account creation,
automatic back up and synchronization of image data, instant sharing,
notifications about new images from contacts and a web interface for
uploading and downloading images.
Note: The first time you use Image Exchange it may be
initially slow as it generates image thumbnails and uploads images onto
your private web account. If available, you can use a WiFI network and
charger during this period. After initial upload the application should
be quite fast.
Very Important Notice:
Nokia Image Exchange is an experimental research project by Nokia
Research Center. It can transfer very large amounts of data. A flat-fee
data plan or WiFi access is essentially required. For similar
mainstream Nokia services, check out Nokia Ovi Share.

and it creates an account for you automatically. Your account is tied
to your mobile phone number.
You can sign-in to the web service with the created account credentials.
Automatic Back-Up and Sync
Image Exchange transfers all images from your mobile to your
private web account. No manual uploading is needed. Images added to
your web account are transferred to your mobile.
The changes to image information are kept in sync between web and the mobile.
Instant Sharing
Image Exchange utilizes your existing contacts and adds other
Image Exchange users automatically to whom you can share your images
with. No configuration is needed.
Shared images are pushed to your contacts in a few seconds.
Keep Up With Your Friends
People who are in your contacts and whose contacts you are in, are
shown under People-menu. You can access your friends' latest images
easily and are informed when they have either published or shared new
images.
In similar fashion, images that you publish or share appear under their
People-menu automatically.
Upload & Download
Web interface allows you not only to browse images but upload new
ones. New uploads are transferred to your mobile for viewing.
As all your images are stored on your web account, you are free to
download them to your PC, Mac or Linux via supported web browsers.
