I've searched to no avail.

I see that chumby has a kick *** flickr viewer.

Is there a flickr viewer with similar functionality I dont know about? Like searching by tags or user name or something like that?

Canola supports Photocasts.

Flickr provides various kinds of photocasts. e.g. photocasts for certain tags, users... Just google for Flickr + Photocasts for details.

Photocasts suck. It only goes about 23 pictures back. Cant get pictures in fullscreen either. Its also a major pain to plug in urls for anything you might want to add.

There really ought to be something better by now. If I knew anything about programming I'd make it myself.

I had made a Flickr Viewer for the Zaurus (linux based), but if only setting up a development box for the Nokia IT wasn't so diffcult and tedious like Scratchbox, and tied only to Linux, maybe I would already have started....

You always can to use a preconfigured vmware image in other OS. Search for maemovmware.

Why want it? The N800 OS 2008 browser supports all Flash Flickr functionality.

You can even adress the RSS reader !

This seems to be a perpetual habit in open source circles, if there is no solution A, then the stock answer is "why do you want it, you have solution B" (not assuming that you too subscribe to the same view, but your question does raise the issue).

No please, I want soluition A, and only solution A will do for some users - you have to realise that. Inspite of a browser being there, having a Flickr app does give more advantage - you can store local copies of photos you like, serach by tags, - see it in full screen and not in a browser window etc etc.

Following the same logic, then why is there a Picture viewer on the Nokia IT, You could as well point your browser to the picture file on the filesystem and view it on the browser.

Why have a 3 email clients - default app + Claws + Modest. Might as well just use the default app ?

Why have different VoIP client when just using one could suffice ?

And no, using a RSS reader to view Flickr photos and search by tags is highly ineffective, that is why ... choice is a very good thing :-)
