Innovators readying for big splash
DEMOmobile 2004, produced by IDG Executive Forums, is known as a somewhat exclusive conference that attracts top executives from around the country and is not accessible to the public, reports The San Diego Tribune.
It opens in La Jolla, California today and runs through September 10.
Companies will take the wraps off new products in front of an audience of investors, analysts and executives from technology heavyweights such as Qualcomm, Microsoft, Motorola, Verizon and Nokia.
Related to camera phones:
"Now that camera phones have become widespread, several companies have interesting mobile photography applications:
-- OurPictures Inc., a Palo Alto firm, will demonstrate a system to send photos from a camera phone to a computer or television with a single click, instead of the half-dozen or more menu selections necessary on many camera phones today.
-- Massachusetts-based Mobot has a system to combine the Internet and camera phones for mobile commerce, an idea that was popular but never realized in the tech-boom years. Subscribers would be able to take a picture of an ad in a newspaper or magazine and e-mail it to Mobot. The company would research the product and provide price and other information to the subscriber.
