Well, here's the first "live" one I've seen.

It certainly is different from other online hosting sites I've seen -- whether its better, faster, or cooler is like so many things I'm sure in the eye of the beholder, but from this chair its awfuly slick -- check out all the different views it offers.

I think that one is the "demo" of this. I watched the little video of this (someone linked it in the other thread) and those people, particularly the little girl with red hair looks very familiar as does the folder of Mammoth lake.
Does a .mac account cost anything for this new feature? Hopefully not as Kodak gallery is free and I have over 6 years of photos up there (started my account there when it was ofoto) and would hate to start a new photo life.

Well, I see it is part of the paid service. Oh well, new software and an annual fee. I guess I will enjoy ones that other people set up!
The annual fee is nothing new. Its always been $99 and has received increasing criticism as it was only 1 gig, but yesterday they blessed us with a tenfold increase and no price increase -- pretty sweet. I've enjoyed having and using my .Mac account. Now if I'd just get off lazy butt and use iWeb to get a web site up..........
While that is just a demo site it does show off how well it looks on an iPhone. For those who haven't seen it, check out that URL on your iPhone. Amazing!
It's almost like expanding your iPhone's videos and photos: it looks just like an iPhone app; videos and photos open seamlessly and quickly.
Even though I'm a PC user I signed up for a trial .Mac account to try it out. Too bad it's $100 a year--seems a bit pricey.

Well so much for that.
Thought maybe you could create a gallery online (not using iPhone) and then view it with an iPhone (or any browser). But--apparently--you can't even do that without iLife '08 too (which requires a Mac of course).
Considering all of the PC-using iPhone owners out there I'm a bit disappointed that this is a Mac-only feature.
BTW: I setup my .Mac (email) account on my iPhone and "Add to Web Gallery" has yet to appear. Synced too. Guess it doesn't matter since it won't work for me anyway...

Web gallery on iPhone
When you browse the web gallery with iPhone the URL changes and seems to be kind of optimised for iPhone...maybe sending only thumbnails to the iPhone..
The page looks exactly like the Photos App..AWESOME!Love it!
One thing is I cant get the display options(Carousel or Mosaic)..it is only displayed in "Grid" format by default..
Luv it..though!
