Flickr Updates iPhone App for HD Video Uploads and Multitasking

Photo-sharing service Flickr has released version 1.2 of its iPhone app, adding several new features to take advantage of the iPhone 4.

Version 1.2 comes with two major additions specific to iOS 4 and iPhone 4 users. First, the new app now supports multitasking for uploads; you no longer have to keep the app open in order to send the photos and videos you capture to your Flickr account. On top of that, Flickr for iPhone now supports HD video upload to correspond with the iPhone 4's 720p video capabilities.

The app also comes with some usability and design enhancements, including the ability to clear recent searches and the removal of navigation controls on full-screen photos until you tap on the photo you're viewing. And finally, Flickr for iPhone now supports the ability to post your photos to Flickr and Twitter simultaneously, making it an even more useful photo-sharing app.
