Your development pace is amazing, too! Oh and I want to add that I think the mobile move on Zooomr’s part is brilliant. Your development pace is amazing, too!

If they take too long, Zooomr, and Japanese copy cats that will come along, might end up taking all of Flickr's potential Japanese market.

I don't know why they get as much "press" as they do. Just use Flickr which already does everything that Zoomr is trying to do...and does it better. Why settle for a Hundai (i.e., Zoomr) when you can just as easily have a Ferrari (namely, Flickr). I've used Flickr, Smugmug and Zoomr. Flickr leaves the others in the dust.

As for the promises about the API and other promises made now, I have a hard time trusting them. I've believed in Zooomr promises in the past, and was disappointed. We'll see what the future holds. I hope (for their sake) that they find a market for their product in Japan.

Too late. I already finished my projects using Flickr's. Would have loved to use Zooomr but 1. they never responded to the various comments I left asking about the API and 2. given how it long it took them and how many times the web site has been down, I seriously doubt how reliable Zooomr will be. Goodbye Zooomr. >Tate will launch a full API next week.
