Using Cameraphones to Steal Identities

Using Cameraphones to Steal Identities 12/24/2004 12:16 PM

There's a bit of a scare story on Florida Today about criminals using cameraphones to steal personal information from you, like credit card numbers or ATM PINs. While no arrests have been made—in fact, it's all speculation!—there's an important lesson we can learn from all of this: pay for everything by trading bales of home-spun quilts.

LG's New 3.24-Megapixel Clamshell
Cameraphones

LG's New 3.24-Megapixel Clamshell
Cameraphones 07/19/2004 09:56 AM

LG Electronics is providing a pair of 3.24-megapixel camera phones to SK Telecom (the LG-SD350) and KTF (the LG-KP2500) which use a mechanical shutter instead of a software technique to improve image quality. Also interesting is the fact that the handsets are clamshells, instead of candy bar phones -- the last 3-megapixel phone we saw, the Samsung SPH-2300, has a more traditional camera shape, although it has an optical zoom, as well. I would hazard a guess that the new LG phones do not (although these days, it's hard to tell).

Meanwhile, some of the phones in the US are starting to get 1-megapixel sensors. Wowsers!

Cameraphones edging out digital cameras

Cameraphones edging out digital cameras 12/03/2003 01:20 PM
Ok, so cameraphones are hurting sales of digital cameras, we buy that. But an analyst with research firm iSuppli claims that Japanese consumers are buying high-resolution cameraphones and then cancelling the service to just use them as cameras. If you'll excuse our incredulity, we've never heard of anyone doing this, and besides why would anyone want to? A decent cameraphone would almost certainly cost more and take worse pictures than a comparably-sized digital camera, especially in Japan. It's one thing to forego buying a digital camera because you've got a cameraphone. It's another thing entirely to buy a cameraphone just so it can function as a camera. Read...

Shirky: Cameraphones are today's
Gutenberg press 05/11/2004 11:59 AM
Clay Shirky has written an excellent entry on the appearance of unmediated photos from the Iraqi front on a Friendster-like service called YAFRO. He likens this -- and other instances of undmediated communication -- to the Protestant Reformation.

The spread of images from Iraq, both relatively plain ones like most of what's on the YAFRO blogs to the horrifying images of torture and abuse from the Abu Ghraib prison are all part of the removal of bottlenecks that will change the political structure in ways we can't predict.

And it isn't just military affairs, its politics and business and everything else, from attempts to coordinate evidence of Apple's manufacturing errors (previously handled case-by-case, but now becoming a kind of grass-rooots class action protest, to Apple's horror) to the distributed amicus brief on the SCO case conducted by the Linux community to the recent right of Americans to get their medical records on request and within 30 days to the publication of spoilers for popular TV shows. (Read this last link now — its from the Times and goes away in 5 days, and although on the surface its about TV, its really a musing on life in a fully disclosed culture.)

Samsung SCH-S250 Reviewed (Verdict: 5MP

Samsung SCH-S250 Reviewed (Verdict: 5MP
Cameraphones are Nice) 04/14/2005 10:03 AM

Want to know what the pictures from a cameraphone with a 5-megapixel sensor look like? MobileBurn has a review of the Samsung SCH-S250, a Korea-only import that was one of the first from Samsung to feature a high-megapixel sensor (which means no optical zoom like the models announced this year). The pictures are okay, but there is a lot of noise and a lack of color depth to most of them, which bears out the thinking that more megapixels does not necessarily mean more better. Still, it's interesting to see some shots from the same sensors that will likely be in our phones next year.

Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Plus with
Bluetooth for Cameraphones 08/03/2004 10:50 AM

I don't normally talk too much about printers -- even the cute little photoprinters that all the kids are using these days -- but Kodak's new EasyShare Printer Dock Plus (Original edit: EasyShire - the world's leading hobbit porn site) has a neat trick: after purchasing the optional Bluetooth dongle (available in October), you'll be able to print pictures directly from your cameraphone. I've seen similar tricks done in software, but it's about time companies started acknowledging that cameraphones are going to be more and more prevalent in home photography.

I bet by this time next year, all photoprinters will have the same feature (and it won't be an extra option, either).

Gillmor: Sprint's attempt to de-camera
cameraphones is silly 06/21/2004 11:43 PM
Dan Gillmor has written an insightful column about Sprint's announcement that it will soon sell camera-free Treo 600 camera phones. Sprint wants to satisfy customers fearful of internal corporate espionage, but Gillmor says resistance is futile:

I suppose it's always better to sell what the customer wants. But I have bad news for Sprint's worried customers: This won't help much, because the pace of technology means cameras will soon disappear from view, embedded in clothing and eyeglasses, not just phones.

Sprint's move highlights one more set of issues we have to confront in a world of digital information. Whether we're talking about photos or videos or documents or just about anything else that can be converted into zeroes and ones, we're entering a changed world.

NTT DoCoMo's Object-Recognition
Binoculars 03/28/2005 01:22 PM

NTT DoCoMo is showing off a set of binoculars equipped with object-recognition capability. The binocs identify certain objects and uses image acquisition to display pertinent details about whatever you're staring at. The examples they offer include looking at a passing plane and seeing the flight number and destination displayed in the eyepiece, or looking at a flower and having its name shown to you. This sort of technology could make its way into camera phones and the like, perhaps affording us an automatic photo-tagging system somewhere down the road.

Of course, we're happy to aimlessly pontificate about this technology since we have no idea how they actually work.
