PhotoSwipe is a FREE HTML/CSS/JavaScript based image gallery specifically targeting mobile devices. This application is for developers and designers requiring an interactive image gallery on their mobile website with a look and feel of a native app that provides your visitors with a familiar and intuitive interface allowing them to interact with images on your mobile website.
PhotoSwipe is inspired by the iOS photo viewer and Google images for mobile and supports mobile handsets running WebKit based browsers, i.e. iOS, Android and Blackberry 6.
