With the latest crew of smartphones with inbuilt camera we have started sharing more of us. Whether it is an iPhone, Android or Windows Mobile, we try to treasure as many memories of our lives as possible and then share with our family and friends.

Apart from sharing these memories in small numbers using email and MMS there are some other easy ways to treasure and share these moments of our lives.  Not only you can share what you have on your phone but also can access what you have in your online libraries.

For iPhone users it becomes even easier because of over 100,000 apps in Apple iTunes store.  Out of these thousands of apps, I have hand-picked the following 10 FREE iPhone apps that makes it amazingly simple to access, capture and share memories with your family and friends.  Some of these apps are multi-purpose applications that let you do other stuff as well.  So without further ado, here they are the 10 Great iPhone Apps of 2009 to share images:

  1. Flickr: Flickr has its own iPhone app that lets you quickly browse your online library or upload images from your Camera roll to Flickr account. It is really fun watching the effects on the home screen of the Flickr app. (iTunes Link)

Photon: An iPhone app from Phanfare that lets you securely store all your memories in the cloud and access them on your iPhone with musical slideshows and editing tools.  After coming out of Beta, Phanfare has become a subscription based service, so unless you have a beta account, you will have to pay for the subscription.  Though the iPhone app is FREE.

    Social Networking Apps:

    Below mentioned apps are in fact Social networking apps.  But since they are immensely popular so most of the time people end up either sharing photos to their Facebook friends or upload them to their Tumblr and Posterous blogs.  So it makes sense to use these apps for sharing your photos on these services only.  Besides sharing photos, you can do various other activities like updating your status, create blog post or share them on twitter etc.

  8. Tumblr: Use Tumblr’s iPhone app to easily post text, photos, quotes, audio, video and more to your Tumblelog. Check out how to use this app to create podcast. (iTunes Link)

  9. PicPosterous:  PicPosterous lets you take photos and videos on your iPhone and post them instantly on the web at Posterous.  With this app you can add photos to an album already published on your blog.  You may use this facility to cover a live event.  Photos and videos are geo tagged so your viewers will see a location map online next to the album.  Really cool app… Read detailed review about Posterous (iTunes Link)

Special Tip: Do you know you can capture anything quickly on your iPhone screen by simply pressing Home and Power button combination?  The capture is saved in your camera roll.  (Most of the images in this article are captured the same way.)

Best of all, these all are FREE and gives you enough space to store and share your memories for easy access anytime, anywhere.  You should never feel a need for higher capacity iPhones (16GB or 32GB) and lest anything should happen to your iPhone, your memories are safe.  Don’t forget to check out 20+ ways to share images on Twitter.
