And finally from them, Camera-phone sales may outpace digicam sales. "'In a few years, the number of mobile phones with a camera will exceed the number of sold digital cameras,' Nokia's head of mobile phones, Matti Alahuhta, said in a speech at a the Comdex technology fair in the southern Swedish city of Gothenburg. Key to this will be the introduction of multimedia messaging (MMS), Alahuhta said, the service which will allow mobile phone users to send photographs, music as well as text in the same way they now send the hugely popular text-only SMS messages."
And you think you have trouble getting your teenager off the phone now!

More good stuff from USA Today: High school limits student cell phone use "Administrators say they have to draw the line somewhere to keep phones from becoming a distraction. By relaxing the rules, they say they're acknowledging that cell phones are an everyday part of life.... Students at Stevenson High School say they've seen some students breaking the new rules — using their phones in school bathrooms, for example. But they say phones that ring in classrooms more often belong to teachers. 'It's like the Internet — they wouldn't take away access to that,' says Stevenson senior Darren Nasatir. 'I e-mail my parents from school, and it's no big deal. Why should calling them be a big deal?'"
See how they equate cell phones and the Internet as communication mediums? For them, email is the same as calling someone. "Why would they take away access to that?"
