	The Observer \| UK News \| Smile! You're on candid cameraphone
		The cameraphone came of age last week as the latest accessory to slip imperceptibly from the niche of eye-catching novelty to join lipsticks and umbrellas in the domain of the everyday.
		Cameraphones were much in evidence again among crowds at the royal wedding in Windsor yesterday, but the Prince of Wales ruled that none of their 800 guests could bring one to the reception at Windsor Castle.
		Cameraphones are increasingly part of everyday life because wherever you are, you don't have to remember to take your camera.

		"Cameraphones enable an expanded field for chronicling and displaying self and viewpoint to others in a new kind of everyday visual storytelling," wrote Okabe, in a paper delivered at a conference in Korea at the end of 2004.
		Okabe's findings make a case that cameraphones represent a new opportunity to tell the story of our lives to ourselves as well as to others, and to share a sense of continuous, multisensory, social presence with people who are geographically distant.
		The first cameraphone handset was introduced to what Okabe describes as a skeptical Japanese population in October 2000.

	IDC expects worldwide cameraphone market to soar
		The future for cameraphones is bright and serious incremental revenues may be realized if wireless operators commit to understanding and addressing subscriber wants and needs in terms of hardware and services.
		According to IDC survey results, 44% of respondents planning to purchase a cameraphone in the next six months would be willing to pay more than $21 per month (in addition to their standard service charge) for the ability to send and receive images over their mobile phone.
		Vendors are doing their part to address these roadblocks by developing easy-to-use cameraphones that require a minimal number of button taps to capture and transmit photos.

		Earlier this year, we had a story about the possibility that someone might, possibly, maybe use a cameraphone to snap a photo of your credit card when you pulled it out to pay at the supermarket.

		One of Techdirt's readers even took out a fairly good cameraphone and tested it out, noting that it's impossible to accurately photograph a credit card with current cameraphone technology.

	Cameraphone pic printing service heads for a store near you
		The product, known as the Order Station, allows anyone with a suitable cameraphone or a Bluetooth digital camera (like the Concord Go Wireless) to send their snaps to it, to get them printed up.
		With most cameraphones, there's a facility to 'mark' a particular shot, so selecting which images you send from the cameraphone to the Order Station is relatively easy.
		The quality of the prints themselves is remarkably high whereas the processing time is amazingly low - it takes just 25 seconds to print out the images you've sent and the customer should expect to pay about 90 pence per print.
