Phone makers team with printers

InfoSync World reports that Nokia, Samsung, and Siemens have teamed up with The Mobile Imaging and Printing Consortium (MIPC) to ensure that printing from mobile phones becomes as easy as desktop printing.

"According to research firm InfoTrends, camera phone users will print over five billion images in 2004. That number is expected to grow to 37.2 billion printed pictures in 2008, when, InfoTrend predicts, 85% of all mobile phones sold will include an embedded camera".
