JAMD Mobile in Action

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. They can also use the search feature for particular personalities, world events or sports passions. The results are multiple images that can be played with, discovered and thumbed-through interactively. Users can pinch, stretch, swipe, stack, sort, or e-mail them to friends. Future features of JAMD Mobile will include building customized stacks, creating favorites and more.

JAMD Mobile was created by the developers of www.JAMD.com, Getty Images' consumer Web site.
