Yahoo owns Flickr So why no Picasa app

[riverboat2001]

It seems strange to me.
Yahoo own flickr, and Google own Picasa.

So why has my Google Android phone have no native Picasa App?

I use Flickr personally but also wondered this as I prefer the Picasa web functionality (but not the sharing method). I did notice someone posted that they had a Picasa uploader built into their phone which I think was an older Android phone.

The X10 has a Picasa tab in gallery I have just noticed: Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Reviews: Mediascape | Google Android Blog

I used to use Flickr Pro, and i found it was a nice photo community site.
However i have now changed over to Google Picasa, as i like the upload feature, and with a 50mb broadband connection i uploaded all of my photos (24gb) with no effort.
I have one or two gripes but nothing major, i hardly use Photoshop Elements now.

I'm sure a google Picasa app must be on it's way.

Normally, Android 2.1 comes with it, but HTC created their own Gallery, with no Picasa support. But you can still get Picasa, though. Just need to download something, click here to the instructions.

Just have to find the "gallery" app from Nexus One

Cheers for the link, can i download and install it via laptop, phone still waiting for sim unlock code. Also, there are a few apps i'd like to try, is it worth waiting for the apps2sd card to be implemented in the firmware?
Lastly, how clean are uninstalls?

Thanks V Much

One explanation may be that Google makes more money from the Picasa apps published by developers on the Android Market.
Personally, I find this one to be quite complete: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.imprologic.micasa (I'm using it very often). More details and screenshots at Picasa for Android - imprologic.com .

Such as your own?

A word to the wise.... Android Forums is not here to provide free advertising space. As the Site Rules stae, "be a contributing member, not a spammer."

I am also surprised there is no official Android imaging app, either to do some simply editing or to manage your pics on your phone and enable easy uploading to the web albums. I know the Gallery has a picasa upload option but often I want to do a bit to cleaning up first.

Picasa is apparently being reborn as Google Photo's in the coming months, as part of Google+ so maybe we'll see something after that?
