Not only photo but MEDIA browser!

Suggestion for Nokia Photo Browser

The application is just awesome!
It is just the way it should be! But still I have a few suggestions:
- First of all, I would LOVE this browser to become not only a photo browser!!! 5800 users will REALLY appreciate the ability to browse videos and music (album covers) on their phones this way! I am not sure if it is possible, but still it is my biggest dream to come true.
- Second, I would like you to fix i little glitch. When watching photos in single picture mode, the picture follows the finger nicely! But whenever I try to shake a picture hither and thither and then release it going back to the previous, it still swithes to the next! (sorry for my english) Just a minor, but still annoing bug.
- Face recognition worked only on about 1 photo out of 10.
Thank you for your time and a beautiful application! And sorry for my english! :)

Thanks for you input. Yes, the video play back is definitely one of the discussed items though we don't yet know if or when. About the second item, I'm afraid I couldn't get that effect. So you (1) drag your finger to wonder between the previous and next image, (2) release your finger at the previous picture, but (3) it shows the next picture?

NAW, stick to photos. Adding more media just congests this great simple photo app.
Besides in the time line of S60 3rd edition the media content has become more separated for whatever reason.
For example on Feature Pack 1 devices there is gallery that holds views and controls everything.
In Feature Pack 2 devices there is the gallery icon, but it is divided, select "photos" would open the photos application(which is terrible) and select "videos" would open video center.

I like this it keeps thing clean and easy.

So i am totally against integrating other media content. Although i do respect the choice integration, its just a matter of how well executed and removing the older media application.

UPDATE: My mistake i just noticed the default media gallery in S60 5th edition does integrate photos & videos.

i'd like to see videos also. don't see why that would by a problem. simple thumbnail like for the pics and when you press on it it plays the video, with the abillity of autorotation of course. If i take pics and videos with my phone and want to see them or show to somone i'd like to have them in one place to show, not to go to photo browser for pics and then going to gallery to show videos. it could be also an optional choise, so users can decide if they would like to se just images or videos or some combination.
