The activity stream now has more information in it, all synched to the settings you specify on the main Flickr site. You will be able to comment on and add as a favorite, photos from your mobile phone. Users will also be able to add and and manage contacts from their devices as well.

Flickr also has enhanced emailing photos from mobile phones to your Flickr account. also gets a little easier. Flickr upload email addresses are now a cinch to find and use. Just enter it in your address book under the name “Flickr”, then email Flickr whenever you shoot something interesting.
