Camera Phone Photos Not So Bad Afterall

Camera Phone Photos Not So Bad Afterall 06/22/2004 04:34 AM
At the top of the list of complaints among reporters and analysts who simply don't get the concept of camera phones is almost always the tired line that "the photo quality sucks." It doesn't take a genius to work out that the technology is improving rapidly, and it won't take long for that complaint to fade away. A new study suggests that day may even be closer than many expected. The study compared photos from camera phones with regular phones and found that, surprisingly, the camera phones could hold their own when it came to photo quality. The study was fairly thorough in testing a variety of situations and cameras in order to come up with a detailed set of results. The end result was that even the low-end camera phones often displayed quality that wasn't too far off from cheap disposable film cameras. However, once they started going to higher end camera phones, the quality quickly surpassed the one-time use cameras, suggesting it won't be long until disposable cameras are a thing of the past as well.

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.

e911 cell phone location query

e911 cell phone location query 01/02/2004 12:02 PM
Mind some dumb-ass questions about cell phone location technology and policy for something I'm writing? I'm having trouble finding a site on the Web that talks about this at a sufficient level of ignorance. I understand that by 2005, 95% of cell phones in the US need to be able to broadcast their location with an accuracy of 50-150m. This is part of the FCC's e911 ("Enhanced 911") act. Here's what I don't understand: 1. The wireless carriers are required to track that information only if you make a 911 call. But will my cell phone be broadcasting its location...

Reuters - The use of a mobile phone to pinpoint a caller's location and nearby businesses was a hot concept when the tech bubble peaked in 2000, but only now with better phones and software does it stand to succeed, companies say. Mobile operators are selling much-improved services that help users locate friends or get directions to the nearest train station, but they have to fight off consumers' bad memories from 2000 and 2001, when they offered illegible maps on tiny black-and-white screens.

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.

Just for kicks, I used the camera on my Morotola V710 to take a shot looking down the hall on the way out of work today. I then e-mailed it to myself (typing e-mail addresses on a cell phone sucks, btw). As you can see, the image quality isn't great (click it to see the whole thing). But I didn't exactly buy it for the image quality. The upload was surprisingly quick. This mobile stuff is all high-tech these days....

Kicked Out Of Parliament For Looking At
A Camera Phone 12/18/2003 03:30 PM
The latest slap down for daring to pick up a camera phone and (gasp! oh no!) look at it, was over in the UK where an MP was thrown out for checking his phone to see who had called. Someone noticed this, and informed the speaker, who kicked him out of the chamber for "using a camera". Except, he wasn't using the camera. Just looking to see who called. As he points out, if he wanted to use the camera it would be pretty obvious. Once again, you have to wonder why there's so much backlash against just having a camera phone, when the folks involved aren't doing anything bad with at all. Why are we making it a crime to possess tools that have plenty of perfectly good uses - just because there's the potential to misuse it?

Ben Hammersley has been publishing ideas that have been on his to do list for some time. Since I have more ideas than time or interest to implement them, I’ll join the fun.

A clever application would be something that allows you to take a pic of a UPC code from a product with a camera phone and send it to the service. The service would scan the UPC from the picture and reply with prices and reviews from around the web. I’m not exactly sure where the business model here is though. Affiliate links are unlikely to be profitable since an in-store shopper isn’t going to typically buy the product from the links you send back.
