EDITOR’S NOTE: This article is part of MobileTechWorld’s historical archive. Mobile technology has evolved dramatically since this was published. For our latest coverage, explore our Latest News, Reviews, and AI in Mobile coverage.

The official Flickr application for Windows Phone 7 application has just been updated again to version 1.3 with the following changes:

– Fix problem with blank screen during start-up phase for some users.
– Fix for application error when sharing from media hub with a large number of photos.
– Background photos on home panorama now change from time to time.

It should also be noted that infinite loading/scrolling of images in the pivot is now improved (it’s faster) and it looks like the newest Bing Maps control is now being used (I could be wrong though). There are still a few bugs here and there (and performance can still be improved quite a bit) but things are getting better with every release.
