I took a look at Cinq in December. It was a cool little iPhone app that allowed you to view your iPhoto libraries on your iPhone and send photos back to your home computer when you're out over Wi-Fi or 3G. I liked the idea of sending full resolution pictures home while I was on vacation, and the app worked pretty well.
Some recent updates have made Cinq even more attractive. It's now a universal app that runs on the iPad as well as the iPhone and iPod touch. As before, you have to install the free Cinq server software on your home Mac or PC and set up a free account. The GUI of the app has been simplified, and it looks more attractive. Once the server is up and running, you choose to have your photos saved to either your iPhoto library or a folder.
My past critique of the app included speed and a lack of background operation. Those issues have been addressed. You can now send a photo or multiple photos in the background, and the speed of transfer seems to have been improved. Of course the speed of your connection is important, but it's clear from my testing that the app is faster.
