Getty Images has announced that it has taken another step towards serving celebrity images direct to consumers with the release of a new mobile application for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch. The new application is an extension of the company’s JAMD.com consumer site and claims to provide a fresh new celebrity image experience “Whether you follow the cast of Gossip Girl or want the latest pics of Coldplay, JAMD Mobile encourages engagement with the images that mean the most to you,” said Bruce Livingstone, iStockphoto founder and current SVP, Consumer Division, Getty Images. “We’re delighted to use the global reach of the Apple App Store to offer our JAMD Mobile application to iPhone and iPod touch users.”
Leveraging the iPhone’s innovative Multi-Touch user interface, JAMD Mobile allows users to follow their favorite celebrities with the latest news and imagery direct from Getty’s photographers. The application also enables users to manipulate images onscreen in a variety of ways and email professional, high quality images to friends around the world. JAMD Mobile will initially offer three image feed choices as well as a search function. Users can choose to view “Featured News,” “Breaking News,” or “Most Popular” images and news items.
