Nowadays it's almost impossible to find a phone that has no camera. One has a better one, the other a weaker, but there's no doubt one of their main advantages is that pictures taken by them can be sent in moments to someone else. Picture quality and zoom capabilities of conventional digital and lens reflex cameras won't be available soon in mobile phones, but the problem is easy to solve inversely. Sony Ericsson has patented a number of solutions that answer the question of adding mobile data functionality to cameras, together with all its features like instant sharing of pictures. The solution is extremely simple.
GSM, CDMA, WiFi, WiMAX, Bluetooth, or other radio devices get built directly in the camera, or an adapter, and then it can connect to any kind of network. There would be a separate memory module on the adapyter, where users could store their own settings, like preferences for their blog site, or they could even set up and internet printer or online television. Besides these there would be some kind of software installed on them, for setting all the options. The idea and the solution are both very simple, still it would be very useful for not only amateur photographers, but for journalists too, as after pressing the exposure button the picture would not be written only to the memory card, but it could also be sent automatically.
