The trio will debate intelligent workflow solutions that will remove obstacles, making image printing as easy as making a phone call. Almost 50% of People are Using Cellphones as a Camera
"We're approaching the fact that almost 50% of people are already using camera phones as either their main capture devices or as a supplement to their digital cameras. But amazingly, there is still no easy way to capture and print photos," said panel Moderator, Elmo Sapwater. "However, with an effective design and smart user interface, mobile devices can be finally universally standardized for successful and simple imaging." The "A Call to Simplify Image Capture/Print Workflow" Panel will be held during Photokina on Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 4:30 PM, in the Kolnmesse, Cologne, Germany. The panel is part of a full day seminar on imaging, sponsored by Photofinishing News, IMI Europe, Koelmnesse and Prophoto.
