The Camera-phone FAQ
6. Camera phone Business - The camera phone industry
6.1 What importance do camera phones have for business and the telecoms and electronics industry?
Since we expect around before not too long most of the 70 million Japanese mobile
phone users will have camera phones sha-mail, and many hundred million sha-mail users worldwide, we have a huge new industry.
A new industry structure will develop: carriers, handset makers, service providers,
printing machines and online-printing services and
many other related service industries. Eurotechnology predicts the emergence of
many new companies in this area. Camera phones are a disruptive technology for the imaging industry.

6.2 Are there business applications of camera phones?
At the moment most camera phones produce images which are not of sufficient
detail and quality for industrial or business applications, but top range models
with 2 Megabyte cameras, improved optics, auto-focus etc do.
We predict that camera phones will be used in many different
fields of industry, medicine and government as soon as the quality of images is
sufficient. Examples could be tele-medicine, policing, insurance damage reports,
real estate applications, police work and many other areas, where images need to
be transmitted instantly. Since such devices did not exist before in large numbers
at low prices, Eurotechnology predicts the emergence of many new applications.
