When the program starts up the first time, it suggests updating the photo library. Press the update button on the upper left of the screen and wait until the program found all images. Then, the list of the photos appears on the screen. EyePhoto searches on storage cards and in the internal storage.
When finished, you can start browsing throug your photos!

EyePhoto lists all folders wich contain pictures with a preview image - tap on a folder to see the content, then tap on an image to switch to fullscreen mode. It might take some time to load an image; this depends on its size. After a few seconds in fullscreen mode, the upper menu disappears. The upper menu shows the number of the current image, a button to switch back to the folder view, and a button to rotate the screen 90° CW. To show this menu after it disappeared, just tap once on the screen. When in fullscreen mode, zooming in is possible by tapping twice on the image or by clicking the zoom button in the lower left corner. To jump to the next image, just swipe the finger from the right to the left.

A main feature is the kinetic scrolling function in the folder list. It works very simple and can be controlled easily with your fingers, just swipe your finger from the bottom of the screen to the top to scroll. Have a look at this video to see how it’s working:

In the settings menu, you can change the language: the program supports English, French and German. There are no other settings available than changing the language.

There is a thing which should be improve IMHO: I’m storing my music with album art on my CF card, so there are ~20 album covers, all in different folders. EyePhoto handles them like every other picture and adds them to it’s library, which makes the list very unclear. It would be better if the user could set exceptions, which folders shouldn’t be scanned for images.
I think EyePhoto is a great addition to the iWindowsMobile collection and it’s main objective, the usability without a stylus, is achieved.
