Gallery presents the pictures and videos on your SD card or USB storage 
(depending on your model of phone), including those you’ve taken with Camera 
and those you downloaded from the web or other locations. 
If you have a Picasa account associated with a Google Account that you’ve added 
to your phone, and if you have configured it to sync with Picasa, Gallery also 
presents your Picasa web albums. See “Configuring account sync and display 
options” on page 131.
If you have a great many pictures or videos on your SD card or USB storage or in 
Picasa web albums, it may take Gallery a few minutes when you open it to discover 
and organize them.
