Being locked to 1:1 is my huge gripe with Flickr mobile website. On touchscreen phone I want and expect double-tap to usefully zoom in an image — that's how it should be. The status-quo is that it doesn't really work, but I think it's due to lack of easy way to implement it and the fact that sites are built using design patterns borrowed from keypad phone/desktop design. There's similar use-case on desktop: I'd like 90dpi images to be replaced with 300dpi variants before print. -- regards, porneL
