I meant to post on this earlier, but it got lost in the shuffle. If you're a professional photojournalist looking to break away from your laptop and running for a phone line to transmit, this is a very innovative solution. Built-in FTP & image editing features make this a killer app for professionals in the field.
"Idruna Software Inc., an innovative provider of desktop and mobile graphics software is pleased to announce the launch of Pocket Phojo, the first handheld photo editing and wireless transmission solution specifically designed for photojournalists. Instead of requiring a bulky laptop to get photos to the press agencies, photojournalists can now fit all of the tools they need in their pocket. For situations such as rapidly breaking stories, or in locations where laptops are impractical, this represents a breakthrough in the time required to get a photo from the camera to the photo desk.
"We are privileged to have been able to work with several highly respected photojournalists in tailoring Pocket Phojo to the unique and demanding needs of the photojournalist in the field." said Paul Nolan, CEO of Idruna. "We feel that our handheld solution is poised to completely replace the laptop in this market, not only greatly reducing the amount of equipment the already burdened photojournalist requires, but making the whole process of getting images from the front lines to the front page quicker and easier."
There's also a great overview of the product on this site with some images.
