101 Ways to Use Your Camera Phone
Who knew a little camera could change so much?
Your phone's camera can do far more than vacation snapshots. Here are 101 practical ideas, from the team that brought the camera phone to America.
About the book
Useful the day you open it.
Almost everyone carries a camera now, and most of us use a small fraction of what it can do. This book collects 101 practical ways to put it to work: spotting a real bargain, showing a repair expert exactly what's wrong, documenting a fender bender, saving a receipt, copying the whiteboard before someone erases it, and recording a family story while there's still time.
Each Way gets its own illustrated page with a one-line idea, clear instructions you can follow on any phone, and a joke at the bottom, often at the expense of Ruby the cocker spaniel or Pixel the cat.
The book opens with the story of how the camera phone came to America, told by someone who was in the room: from the first shared picture in 1997, to Japan's first camera phone in 2000, to the November 2002 launch of the Sanyo SCP-5300 and Picture Mail at Sprint.
