Taking The Camera Out Of The Camera
Phone 11/04/2003 07:06 PM
We've had a lot of stories in the last six months or so about shortsighted companies deciding to simply ban camera phones outright. In the past, I wondered if such rules would have an impact on mobile phone sales, but I didn't expect the carriers to jump on this topic so quickly. Put me in the same surprised boat as Alan Reiter to hear that carriers are convincing mobile phone handset makers to offer multiple versions of their phones: one with a camera and the other without. I really thought that with only a few companies overreacting and missing the point about camera phones, it would blow over, and a decade from now we'd be laughing at silly companies banning camera phones. At this rate, that might not be true. This is going to be a huge waste of money. Designing a new phone will take some money, and will create a phone that offers less value to the customer (and less opportunity for revenue for the carrier). However as camera phones begin to find more acceptance in the marketplace, people are going to get angry when their boss tells them the expensive phone they just bought can't be brought into the office. They're not going to want to buy the version without the camera if part of the reason they're upgrading is for the camera in the first place. This is a (costly) over reaction to a technology that will do nothing to stop the real problem (theft of corporate secrets or invasion of privacy), but will cost lots of money and anger many people.

Siemens SF65 Swinger Phone

Siemens SF65 Swinger Phone 09/15/2004 03:20 PM

Maybe it's just because I'm a sucker for white bricks, but I think the new Siemens SF65 swing-out phone looks sort of nice. It's a good thing, too, because beyond the color, the flip-out screen, compact size, and the 1.3-megapixel camera built-in there's not a lot to make it stand out.

Er, actually, scratch that. I guess it stands out quite a bit, doesn't it? Too bad it's Euro-only - it has not the dual-bandery we need.

Siemens Phone Tests for Bad Breath

Siemens Phone Tests for Bad Breath 09/22/2004 08:38 AM

While the original Reuters story is suffering from linkrot, Mobile Weblog gives us just enough information about Siemens new phone that can detect bad breath and alert you if you're skanky to know that we want one. Details are slim, of course, but one would presume you have to breathe into a sensor, hopefully one in the mouthpiece, where you're already breathing, and not some stick-out breathalizer tube that makes it obvious to everyone what you're testing for.

And speaking of, how much harder would it be to develop a breathalizer test for alcohol levels? Then you could get know you had rancid breath and how many beers it took you to get it.

Siemens SP65 Business Phone

Siemens SP65 Business Phone 03/22/2005 04:46 PM

Siemens has announced their new SP65 cell phone which features Bluetooth, Outlook and Lotus Notes synchronization, a reduced size memory card slot, and a 260,000 TFT display. The phone is targeted towards business users and has a pretty sharp design to boot. It purposely lacks a camera in order to meet emerging corporate security and procurement requirements, effectively condemning you to T9ing your favorite proprietary documents if you're the espionage type. Available next month, the phone offers 5 hours of talk time and nearly two weeks of standby with no price to speak of quite yet.

Of course, Cingular already has the S66, which is this same phone with a 1.3-megapixel camera. For most users, that's the one your want.

Siemens Gigaset SL740 Land Line Cell
Phone 09/22/2004 08:38 AM

Here's another one of those analog home phones masquerading as a cellphone, this time from Siemens Mobile. The Gigaset SL740 has all the major functions you'd expect from a mobile, like a built-in camera, MMS and SMS messaging capabilities, and picture caller identification. And no cords, which is usually part of the package (or isn't, I guess. You know what I mean). It's always a little amusing to see all these cell phone features being backported to something like a land line, though, even though it makes perfect sense. I don't use POTS phones anymore, but you might as well toss in all the gee whiz functionality for people that still do.

Still, clearly a temporary bridge solution. It shouldn't be too much longer before we can toss the wired phone network entirely (or move it all to VoIP). (Thanks, Frank!)

But Does Anyone Want A Camera Phone?

But Does Anyone Want A Camera Phone? 05/11/2004 02:20 AM
There seem to be two opinions when it comes to camera phones: either people think they're going to be the greatest thing since the first internet browser or they're a silly waste-of-time trinket that's only going to make mobile phones (that don't work all that well already) more expensive. As with any such situation where there are extreme viewpoints, it often helps to have someone take a bit more of an objective look at what's really happening in the camera phone space. The summary seems to be that they're coming, no matter what. What people aren't quite as sure about is whether or not people want them. In fact, in areas where camera phones are being offered, there's really not much evidence that they're using them all that much. Also, while much of the push for camera phones has focused on how it will help the carriers by driving more wireless data usage, some providers have said they've seen no evidence to support that. Does this mean the whole camera phone concept is set to come crashing down before it's really begun? It's certainly possible. As with so much in the wireless space, the ridiculous level of hype has a tendency to do more damage than help. However, there are a few reasons why camera phones may work out after all. First off, people aren't buying camera phones for the camera. They're buying them for the phone. The camera just comes along with it. As such, handset makers and wireless carriers don't have to be nearly as concerned about the success of camera phones early on. It's almost a "stealth" way of seeding the market (if you can call this stealth). Next, whether or not users think they'll use camera phones isn't so much of an issue compared to whether or not they actually will use camera phones - and that will depend on the applications. People are going to realize that there are an awful lot of connected cameras out there - and that presents an opportunity. It's not the fact that everyone will have a camera in their hands, but the fact that those cameras are connected that will drive people to start creating applications that take advantage of that - whether for productivity, for safety or for fun. It's those applications that will make the camera phone worth while. I doubt that it will happen nearly as fast as most folks in the industry would like, but I certainly don't think it's the fad that some columnists/analysts are predicting will quickly go away.

Removing the camera from the phone

Removing the camera from the phone 11/05/2003 12:09 PM
eWeek reports on an interesting new trend: cellphone carriers asking manufacturers to start offering versions of their phones without the digital cameras built-in. Why? Because for security reasons their business customers don't want to issue their employees cellphones that can potentially snap pictures of sensitive company material and documents. Verizon has already asked Samsung to develop a camera-free version of the i700 and Sprint is talking to Handspring/palmOne/whoever about doing the same thing for the Treo 600.

Camera Phone Rules That Don't Seem New

Camera Phone Rules That Don't Seem New 04/27/2004 05:27 PM
Over in Australia, the government is sending out a set of camera phone guidelines to schools suggesting they implement the rules to deal with the growing popularity of camera phones. The rules include banning the use of camera phones in locker rooms and bathrooms, as well as disciplining those students who use camera phones to cheat or bully other students. These are all actions that require punishment, but I'm wondering why the technology needs to be singled out. I would assume that it's pretty obvious that you shouldn't be taking pictures in a locker room or bathroom. Isn't that already "banned" by the school? Similarly, bullying or cheating seems like the type of thing that the school already has rules against. Why create a separate classification that involves the use of a camera phone. All it does is demonize the technology, rather than the action. Even worse, those who came up with the guidelines admits that there's no known problem with camera phones in schools - but they're trying to stop it before it becomes a problem. So, they're trying to solve a non-existent problem by putting in place rules that are already in place. That seems positively useless.
