In addition to its <a href="">desktop software announcements</a>, Adobe is introducing a new mobile service designed to make it dead simple to upload images from your mobile device.
If you've been looking for an easier way to get your camera phone images posted onto the web (or wanted to do a bit of light editing before posting something to Flickr, the company's new Photoshop.com Mobile app might be the answer.
The service, which requires FlashLite and will be released as a public beta in September, allows you to upload, backup and share your photos from your phone or mobile device. The initial release will support Blackjack, Treo, and other smartphones and the company says that support for Android, the iPhone, Symbian and RiM will be coming in 2009.
The Flash-based Photoshop.com Mobile greatly simplifies the task up uploading images from your phone. In fact, you won't need to do anything to upload an image to Photoshop.com -- point and click, and the photo shows up in your gallery in about 10 seconds. You have the option to simply upload and keep images private or to upload and share your images through Photoshop.com.
While Photoshop.com Mobile will automatically upload your images as soon as you take them, to pass them on to sharing sites like Facebook or Flickr it will require a separate trip to the browser (or desktop software if you're using it).
Adobe says it's working toward an update that will allow you to share images directly from the mobile app but it won't be available for the initial release.
Other features in the mobile app include full access to your Photoshop.com library and albums as well as the ability to turn off the automatic upload service, for those images you don't want to upload.
While the iPhone has made it pretty easy to send photos to Flickr, thanks to its e-mail app and Flickr's upload via e-mail feature, on other phones it isn't as simple to upload and share your images and that's the gap Photoshop.com Mobile hopes to fill.
The public beta will be available as a free download at [mobile.photoshop.com][1] in the fall.
