Mobile Document Imaging Dependent on Cell Phone Camera Improvement

Mobile document imaging is not far away from being a real tool used by professionals who do a lot of work on the road or in the field. Some professions that may especially benefit from an increased number of mobile document imaging applications might be:

-- Lawyers who travel to client locations
-- Doctors who work at multiple locations
-- Real estate pros who get all around town

All three of these professions, and many more, could make great use of the ability to capture document images on their mobile devices. However, in order for mobile document imaging to really catch on, camera quality in mobile devices will have to be improved.

In order to create readable, usable images of important documents, cameras must be high quality. Up to now, camera quality has been an afterthought for many cell phone-makers.

Blogger Ralph Gammon noted that the 3G iPhone has addressed this camera concern. Look for business-focused phone makers like RIM to make the next BlackBerry iterations more friendly to document imaging possiblities as well.
