         27 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising:
 receiving, in the first section of the gallery, a selection of a first icon representing a first album; and   in response to receiving the selection of the first icon, displaying, in the second section of the gallery, one or more thumbnails associated with one or more images in the first album.   
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 27 , further comprising receiving, in the first section of the gallery, a second selection of a second icon representing a second album. 
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 28 , further comprising, in response to receiving the second selection of the second icon, displaying, in the second section of the gallery, one or more thumbnails associated with one or more images in the second album. 
     
     
         30 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the one or more albums are created before the first input was received, and wherein an album is a logical structure that stores one or more images that are associated with each other. 
     
     
         31 . A portable communication device, comprising:
 a first touch sensitive display;   a second touch sensitive display;   a memory; and   a processor in communication with the memory, the first touch sensitive display, and the second touch sensitive display, the processor operable to:
 receive a first input to the device, wherein the first input executes a first application, wherein the first application is not a gallery application; 
 receive a second input in the first application; 
 in response to the second input, execute a picker service; 
 in the picker service, display a gallery across at least a portion of the first touch sensitive display and at least a portion of the second touch sensitive display; 
 display, on the first touch sensitive display, a first section of the gallery comprising icons associated with albums, each album comprising a collection of images; 
   display a second section of the gallery on portions of the first and second touch sensitive displays, the second section of the gallery comprising thumbnails associated with images from the albums associated with the icons displayed in the first section of the gallery;
 receive, in the second section of the gallery, a selection of a thumbnail associated with an image from an album, wherein the image is a picture or a video; and
