Radar is a media sharing application for mobile devices and, Tiny Pictures, the company behind it, is announced its new free version for the iPhone. Radar allows mobile users to have a visual conversation by adding instant comments to the pictures that they send to friends. Radar is available for free at the app store, and for people who do not own an iPhone (like myself), it is also availble for Java, Windows Mobile, Sidekick and Blackberry. Specifications after the jump.
