Windows Phone Thoughts: Pocket Phojo 6.0: Eye-Fi Pro and Remote Editing Support

"Pocket Phojo for Windows Mobile in conjunction with the Eye-Fi Pro card provides a cost effective wireless solution for acquiring high quality photos, associating data with each photo, then securely transmitting the photos directly to where they are needed via 3G. Many industries need data associated with each image otherwise they can't be processed automatically. For example, a news photographer needs to associate captions and keywords before sending a photo to the news desk via email or FTP, a photo from a car auction would need to be associated with the vehicle's VIN for it to be useful, a photo of some storm damage would need to be associated with a customer's insurance policy and so on. Pocket Phojo also has barcode scanner support for associating data with photos, and support for transmitting photos via Secure FTP for customers needing encryption."

This isn't the type of thing that the average reader of this site is going to use, but I wanted to post on this because it shows some impressive innovation, with Windows Mobile at it's core. The image above illustrates the basic flow of data, but the video after the break shows the whole process in action. Pocket Phojo is brilliant - you can set it to watch a folder and initiate actions, so when the Eye-Fi transmits the image to the Windows Mobile device, Pocket Phojo can do things like resize the image before it uploads it. Great work Idruna!
