Getty Images Launches Celebrity iPhone App

JAMD.com, the consumer Web site of Getty Images, a creator and distributor of visual content and digital media, announced that its new JAMD Mobile application will be available free on the Apple App Store today. That means iPhone users can download the latest celebrity photos, direct from professional Getty Images photographers.

The company said that instead of poring over the “same few, tiny pics of celebrities” from news stories, JAMD Mobile now lets users download fresh, high-quality pics of celebrities from wherever they are on the planet.

“Whether you follow the cast of Gossip Girl or want the latest pics of Coldplay, JAMD Mobile encourages engagement with the images that mean the most to you,” said Bruce Livingstone, senior vice president, Consumer Division, Getty Images, in a statement. “We’re delighted to use the global reach of the Apple App Store to offer our JAMD Mobile application to iPhone and iPod touch users.”

JAMD Mobile will be available for free from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore.
