Flickr announced the app two months ago and posted a preview video. The company originally promised the app would be available on January 31, 2011 but clearly there were some delays.

The app leverages Microsoft's Azure cloud platform; it connects Flickr data with Windows Azure via an API. Using Windows Azure, Yahoo is able to optimize the images for Windows Phone 7 devices and Windows 7 environments. Azure computes the context for how the image should be viewed on the device. Flickr has also built syncing into the app, which lets users seamlessly move back and forth from their WP7 device and their Windows 7 tablet; the app remember which photos you were viewing. If you are interested here's the link to download the app.
