Rico Mossesgeld over at The Smart PDA lets us know that Picasa Web Albums, which is Google's (pathetic) answer to Flickr, is now iPhone optimized. Here's the posting on Google's Mobile Blog announcing it.
Eh, so what? Does anyone actually use Picasa Web Albums? Only one person I know uses it, everyone else uses Flickr or something else-anything else.
That being said, I'm with Rico in that I'd like to see something like Picasa on the iPhone, or any other mobile device. However, Nokia has a reasonable photo editor built into Nokia Nseries devices, so it's much less of a need for me, personally. Certainly Picasa on a mobile device could do that well or better on an iPhone or any other phone for that matter.

It is a good sign that Picasa has optimized its web album for iphone, but it should also do that for other devices also and made it more attractive for the users of smartphones and pda’s.

Remember that Apple and Google share some board members, so it makes sense that they’d do something for iPhone first. But yes, I’d like to see if they could do something similar for other devices.

Why does this application limit the picasa library to 100 pics? I can’t see the majority of my pics most of this time due to the limitation.

search iPicasa in the iPhone app store. Its a pretty neat app. It allows upload and saving all albums locally and browse offline. U can upload photos from your phone and create/delete albums and photos. Its only 0.99. it supports adding multiple apps.
