Camphones For Journalists

The high resolution camphone should be standard issue for every reporter. But you just know your local daily won’t grab this wave until after it’s raised all boats and is headed back out to sea.
Infosyncworld has a collection of 2 Megapixel camphones handy for collecting audio, pictures and even video clips in the field.Sharp’s 3.2 megapixel camphone has a 2x aspheric glass zoom, Sony-Ericsson’s K750i has a 2 megapixel camera with 4X zoom, and the Nokia N90 features a 2 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics. The N-90 shoots stills, movies and audio and plays music. Here’s a review by InfoSync.
The camera module is on top and rotational. It has Bluetooth and an RS-MMC slot (but no WiFi). The N90 processor is similar to the one of the Nokia 6680 having the clock rate of 220 MHz.
It’s shown on Nokia’s USA site, so chances are it will wash ashore. But it won’t be cheap…and no WiFi.
But not to worry, Pocket PC phones with Wi-Fi can put you on-scene. Live. PocketPCs will be beaming up video with Mobile WiMax in a couple of years.
At least Dan Gilmor, Jeff Jarvis and Steve Outing tried. Now it’s the stockholders’ turn. I like newspapers. I even respect them. But we can rebuild them. We have the technology.
