Windows Phone Thoughts: FotoField: New Picture Management For Pocket PCs With Camera

A major problem most people with most digital cameras today is classifying the millions of pictures they inevitably take. Personally, I just throw up my hands and keep all but the most obvious ones, and lump each "event" into a single folder. Fortunately, people are working on solutions to come up with rapid categorization of images not after-the-fact, which takes forever, but rather as you take them. FotoField integrates with a camera-enabled Pocket PC and does exactly this.



The current version runs using .NET for both the desktop and Pocket PC portions, and works with a HTC Himalaya (better known as the XDA II/MDA II/i-Mate). Obviously, this solution is not going to work with professional camera photos, but it might be purveyor of the future when we have truly smart cameras or high-quality-camera PDA phones. I haven't used it, but if you play with it, let us know what you think.
