SpeedView software makes it possible for mobile users to scroll through hundreds of images in a split second. Moreover, the act of launching the photo gallery application, opening an image, browsing, zooming and panning – which can take minutes on some devices – is also reduced to near-instantaneous.

The Swedish developer has launched the software as an optional feature module for its CAPS imaging toolkit. It claims manufacturers can use it to reduce unit costs and time to market, while end-users will be encouraged to capture and share more images.

A SpeedView Beta version has been available for evaluation by selected customers during Q4 2006, and the first commercial SpeedView enabled camera phones will be on the market from mid 2007.
