Mobile Phone Snaps Taking Off
In a bit of contrast to the article beneath this one, which says that people in the UK aren't interested in the features that come with 3G phones, this article says that camera phones are really catching on in the UK. Lots of people are buying the phones, and there are plenty of sites hosting the photos taken from such phones. Those sites say they're getting swamped with traffic. Of course, one issue is that, currently, most of these systems are free. When taking and sending each picture starts to cost more, some wonder if the excitement will continue.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
