Picture phones potential is growing -- both for pleasure and business users
Peter Wilson for The Vancouver Sun has an interesting round-up on the camera phone trend:
-- According to the Mobinet Index, 83 per cent of people surveyed in 15 countries have heard about photo messaging on cell phones.
-- While sales are growing, the biggest increase in volume of camera phones sold is expected by 2004.
-- Some 16 million camera phones were sold worldwide in 2002 and this, according to research and consulting firm Strategy Analytics, will rise to 147 million by 2007.
-- Of the phones shipped now, 80 per cent or more of people who have bought them are sending pictures regularly as post cards or to Web logs. "And they're sending one or two [pictures] a week.
-- Sixty-five per cent of them are actually sending multiples during the week. And, in fact, some of the users are generating an average of 25 or more pictures per month."
