A great new feature introduced in iOS 5 is the ability to select multiple pictures and email or text them from your phone or ipad.

To do this, tap the Photos app and at the top right corner of the screen you’ll see a square with an arrown in the middle of it pointing to the right. Tap that button and the top of the screen changes to “Select Items”. Now you just tap all of the pictures you want to send and hit the “Share” Button at the bottom of the screen and choose the option you want to share with.

The current choices are “Email, Tweet, Message, and Print”.

Here are some screenshots showing the process:
