Application Turns Photo Phone Into Reporting Tool

More interesting picture phone related news from Steve Outing on E-Media Tidbits, this time about an application from wireless technology company Realeyes3D, "that allows you to use a photo phone to take a picture of a handwritten message, digitize it, manipulate it, and send the handwritten message to others.

Steve Outing sees some nice journalistic applications -- "say, scanning documents while at a government office and phoning them back to your editor in the newsroom. Another: A reporter sitting in a courtroom could scribble notes on a pad of paper, then phone them back to the office. Or a courtroom artist could send in a sketch and have it ready to publish the minute the pencil drawing is complete." How cool is that ?.
