Manage Digital camera from PDA | |||||||||||||||||
Manage Digital camera from PDA With wireless support being widely spread, and cheaper as time goes by – this could be used to use PDA (such as palm or pocket PC) for managing the pictures from your digital camera (or even few cameras) Of copurse it would be great if there is a standard for that. Advantages: 1. Extesibility: PDA is easier to update and, by download and install, new software – independent of the camera support (just as you can manage the pictures on PC with any relevant software) this can include zoom in, tagging, color enhancing, and many other file and image manipulation that your PDA CPU can handle. 2. PDA screen size is usually wider than digital camera view findersee idea: “Remote Viewfinder for Camera” by XyWriter 3. Cost: If one (e.g. professional photographer) uses more than one camera – the same PDA can be used to extend abilities of all cameras at once (provided that all of them have the required wireless support) 4. Storage support – See the idea Unlimited Digital Photo memory by lacouture when managing vast amount of pictures – you need better managing tools such at tagging, sort by location (See GPS and Digital Photos by XyWriter), etc

Just be sure all the stuff you buy has Wi-Fi. Then you can put the pictures where you want. Laptop, PDA, DVD player, MP3 player. Watch for new stuff to show up on Engadget.
Bluetooth would actually be more suitable to the task.
Regarding GPS & digital photography – This is an good example of what I referred to as extensibility:
If you have GPS support (or other location service) on your PDA – all you need from your camera is a standard wireless support (WiFi, Bluetooth or whatever comes next).
Extending the camera for GPS support is much harder than extending the PDA to add EXIF location data based on the current location (if the picture was immediately transferred) or selected location (if added later)
