From the red carpet: are camera phones the new wallets?
Categories: Media, Gadgets & Tech
Whenever my husband and I are out, now, he pulls out his camera phone to show off his photos of our kids. And we
aren't the only ones: Virginia Madsen pulled out her Motorola camera phone to show Ryan Seacrest, and the TV viewing
public, a picture of her son during the red carpet coverage of the
Golden Globes.
It seems that camera phones are the new wallets. Why carry photos of your loved ones when you can just fill your phone with the cuties? It's so immediate and you never need to worry about ordering wallet-sized photos - just snap a new pic. It's the cure for the collection of photos from seven years ago.

My husband got an Ipod for his New years birthday. He promptly added a couple hundred photo's of our kids "in case anyone asks to see them". We're still a cell-less family though.

my son's teacher posts all of her photos of the class to snapfish. they have a nifty thingy that lets you send the photos right to your phone. it lets you crop them and it automatcially resizes them so they'll display correctly on the phone. easy, and it looks surprisingly good! and i've got the phone set to hide all of the icons (you can still use the keypad arrows to access them in the same spots, it just doesn't display them) so the whole picture shows. it's great!

Me,my husband, mother in law, fgather in law, sister in law,two sisters and my sisters boyfriend all have Sprint camera phones and pictures of my kid get sent around like currency!
Everyone except 1 sister and her boyfriend GOT the camera phone JUST to share pictures of our kids.
Its only slightly addictive...

Our pediatrician did this. I thought it was genius.
