Picasa Mobile 2.2.5 is now live

Picasa Mobile 2.2.4 for Android is now available on the Android Market. Major highlights of this release: 

  • Optional photo caching: if you are looking at those crazy vacation photos over and over again :), it would help if you enable photo caching. You can do so from the Settings menu, under Photo Browsing -> Caching.
  • We reorganized the Settings menu into categories - there were just too many options in the same screen.
Many thanks to John for his suggestions!
