Rating: ★★★★½

Cooliris is a neat app that allows you to search through images found on Google, Youtube, Flickr, Yahoo, and DeviantART.
You can scroll through any images you search for by flicking through them as if turning the page of a book.

Cooliris also has a service you can subscribe to in order to save favorites of your favorite media content or to save your own images.
