Little Annoyance: Adding Images in Social Media Apps

Windows Phone 7 as we know still growing, it does have some small but annoying rough edges around its User Experience Aura.

For instance if you are using Twitter for Windows Phone 7, Facebook and Flickr, and would like to share images with status update, what it does is it start from the top in camera roll (assuming you wanna share the image you took just a moment ago) , where as in iPhone and I think I can safely assume in Android, it put the user at the latest image row in the Camera Roll folder.

Imagine I have to scroll down the 200+ images to get to the last row of latest images.

Please fix this tiny, but annoying usability issue.

Just a note I am using HTC HD7. And thanks to @randolphcabral for encouraging me to post this bit as I was discussing that annoyance at Lahore Karahi with him.

Yup, just going to start with some initial concept of my project on Windows Phone 7. Here is what my game-plan is:

  1. Sketch the flow and UI (check out these articles for Wireframings also don’t forget to pick your copy of Rework & Getting Real by 37Signals.com)
  2. Design the Screen in Expression Blend 4
  3. Code it (Thanks to Ginny Caughey, she pointed me to Charles Petzold book, and Reddit link for jump-start)
  4. Boom! Done!
