thx for the thoughts gentlemen (yes as someone said i use terms loosely) -
|
|
|
|
more than cool --->
|
|
|
|
quality: snobs only care about mpixels. this is about communications. the
|
|
general public cares about speed not quality. how is akamai doing these
|
|
days? not to mention any other QOS businesses that come to mind.
|
|
|
|
implementation: point about hooking to usb, wires, etc. AGREE 100%. these
|
|
implementations are super clunky, attachable camera needs to be integrated a
|
|
la nokia model. basically useless until better handsets are released i
|
|
think.
|
|
|
|
adoption: ian brought up the 'fax' problem. brilliant thing is, this is far
|
|
more personal than faxes so can be justified more easily and marketed in
|
|
family packs etc. but yes, the usual rules apply as MMS phones have network
|
|
efx.
|
|
|
|
content: who cares about content? that no one can think of 'useful' content
|
|
is always the business persons mistake. the content is the users
|
|
communications. its anything and everything. avg person could easily send
|
|
half dozen pics to a dozen people a day. mainly humorous i'd guess. who
|
|
cares if content is trivial in nature. picture speaks a thousand words.
|
|
|
|
display: why are dig camera displays better than cell phones? does anyone
|
|
know who makes these small displays and what the trends are around them?
|
|
|
|
misc ramblings: i suppose you skeptical forkers would have said the same
|
|
thing about '1 hour photo' processing. trivial, who needs it, i get better
|
|
resultion elswhere. and yet, it had great decentralizing impact - the plant
|
|
had to be downsized and pushed to the retail operation - the digital camera,
|
|
and finally the integrated digital camera phone brings this cycle of
|
|
decentralization in photography to a logical conclusion (which will put the
|
|
photo giants to bed) and change the world in a meaningful way. also, SMS
|
|
didn't take off because its easy, it took off because it costs less. its
|
|
greatly ironic the carriers often trumpet the 'profitabilty' of their SMS
|
|
traffic over others because of its ratio of cost to bandwidth. in reality,
|
|
SMS cannibilizes the voice rev's they bought their networks to handle.
|
|
|
|
ps: it is relatively amusing that one 'low resolution' complaint dropped
|
|
just after Joe watched a CARTOON on his television..
|
|
|
|
You're right. Or at least, I don't. I saw an advert for it on TV last
|
|
night (can't miss Futurama :-) and I thought, "boy, that's dumb."
|
|
If I wanted to share pictures with someone, I'd email them to them,
|
|
where they could see them on a 1024x or 1600x display, instead of
|

The word "trivial" comes to mind.

Remote realtime streaming video is neat, but sharing pictures? You invoke
|
|
big words rather readily.
