Eye-Fi Inc on Monday announced details that it is is releasing a new Apple Inc iPhone application for digital photos. The new app lets smart phone users share and view geotagged photos which can be organized by location.

"Whether you're snapping pictures on-the-go with an iPhone or capturing life's important moments with a digital camera, Eye-Fi will offer one easy way to manage and share all your photos -- without docking a gadget or fussing with software," Eye-Fi CEO Jef Holove said in a statement.

One of the nice things about this free iPhone app is the ability to aggregate digital photos from the mobile device and a digital camera. Photos can be organized into folders on a computer as well as online video sharing Web sites.

"We are solving another real-world frustration for anyone who takes photos with both devices," Holove said.

The iPhone application will be presented at Macworld in San Francisco on January 6. The only requirement needed is an Eye-Fi card and the free application from Apple's App Store when released.

There are a variety of Eye-Fi cards available which are reasonably priced. The technology company sells the Eye-Fi Home, Share, Anniversary Edition and Explore cards with prices ranging from $79-$128. You can also purchase the Eye-Fi cards at Apple Retail Stores, Best Buy, Circuit City, Amazon, Ritz Camera Center and Walmart's online Web site.
