Dean Takahashi says "Theoretically this is a wonderful idea, but practically it has a way to go. So far the cameras on the phones don't take sharp enough pictures, and the printing results reflect that. The printers also don't work with very many phones right now."
Takahashi says the printed photos look "okay" but they're not likely to be keepsakes. "I printed a picture of my 4-year-old daughter holding a snake she made from a red pipe cleaner. The image was pretty smeared," he writes.
"I could recognize my daughter and the snake just fine, but I showed it to her and she didn't even ask if she could keep it."
Photo quality and printing kiosks
I've written previously about Kodak installing Bluetooth and infrared capabilities in its Picture Maker printing kiosks to enable camera phones to upload photos to the kiosks.
As I have written, the quality of today's VGA photos are rather poor so I'm not sure how successful the kiosks will be until we have one megapixel camera phones in the United States.
However, if the photos are printed small, such as on stickers, the resolution isn't a big a deal.
Hi,
I read in your article "HP's Bluetooth portable printer for camera phones" it is very nice. it is very useful to me.
Thank u
