Dan Gillmor: Accessing a whole new world via multimedia phones. Only a little while ago, I thought having a cell phone with a camera was a rather silly idea. I couldn't imagine that the picture quality would be very good, and the ads for these phones always showed people using them in rather inane ways (e.g. the wife sending her husband a picture of a freshly baked pie to get him home from the poker game with his buddies). But now that I have access to a digital camera, I wish I could have it with me all the time. And I do have my phone with me all the time, so… Of course, it would be nice to be able to do some quick photo-editing, but I'm not sure what a workable interface would look like.
