Mobile phone photos get framed
Bluetooth Digital Photo Frame by Parrot describes an electronic photo frame that you can beam photos to, previously taken with the phone's camera.
I find it interesting not so much for the practicality of it (which could be argued), but that it shows a use of Bluetooth that I don't think the Bluetooth SIG thought up in the early days of hype.
What I would like to see, in the same vein, is a similar beaming of photos to a PC that wouldn't require any user intervention. What if beamed photos would immediately show up in Picasa and even be directly posted to Flickr via the PC, without touching the PC? That would be neat, as it would cost less than sending the photos (or videos) via the mobile network.
