Most wireless phones have cameras, including mine (an old Toshiba flip-phone). Indeed, my camera-phone can even record short videos. Seems like a useful feature. But, I almost never use it because I don't have a way of downloading the photos.

I saw recently that there is a new service offered by Alltel Networks called PhotoCopter that instantly sends your photos over the wireless network to either a PC or photo-sharing site. It costs $2.99 a month and provides customers with unlimited picture transfer to their PC, email address and web photo albums.

I'd be interested in trying it, but I'm still not sure I would use it very often.
