Chapter 12. Taking and Sharing Digital Pictures and Videos
| IN THIS CHAPTER
I have a confession to make. I once told my friend Stephen how dumb I thought it was to include digital cameras on mobile phones. At the time, it seemed to me to be just another gadget I would never use, with the sole purpose of making phones more expensive. Then Stephen explained how he had his website set up so that he could take pictures with his mobile phone and send them to his blog for immediate publishing. Although Stephen's setup still sounded gadgety, he made me rethink my initial conclusions about cameras and mobile phones. Of course, now it's official that the only dumb thing was me jumping to conclusions about the usefulness of having a digital camera embedded in a phone. I use the digital camera on my mobile phone regularly, even though I have a fairly small camera as well. This chapter is about the digital camera embedded in your Treo device. You learn what the camera is capable of and how to use it to take pictures and video clips. You even learn how to create an online picture blog similar to the one my friend created that allows you to publish pictures to the Web directly from your Treo device. |
