Built-in Camera Mobile Phones Increasingly Used for Business Purposes
Whenever people talk about how camera phones will be used, they tend to focus on young people sending pictures to each other. However, in Japan, it seems that camera phones are increasingly finding business uses. They're being used by doctors to quickly diagnose patients, by salespeople to show samples, and by construction companies to check up on work being done. It's definitely good to see people putting camera phones to good use. As they start to become more widely available, I'm sure other uses will pop-up.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
