Comments about cameraphones from CommunicAsia
High-quality cameraphones were the highlight at the recent CommunicAsia show.
Some of the goods and bads mentioned:
For operators, camera phones drive up average revenue per consumer as users are charged a premium for image data transmission...
"Camera phones are a strategic business focus and we believe that the camera is becoming a basic feature of mobile phones," said Christian Collins, senior manager for overseas marketing at Samsung's mobile communication division.
The phones can be used for surveillance of potential targets of attack, prompting foreign embassies, government agencies and military bases in Asia to ban visitors or even staff from bringing them in.
Obscene or embarrassing pictures of unsuspecting persons can easily be spread to the public.
