The old joke about the patient and the psychologist meeting in a bar, where the psychologist says"I thought I left you on my couch talking to my recorder!" and the patient replies "No, I left my dictaphone there talking to your yours," will reach another dimension if mobile phones (wish they had better recording quality!) are left to their smart devices.
 

 
"Sony Ericsson has been a leader from the start of mobile imaging,” says Olsen. “We were the first major mobile phone provider to launch clip-on cameras;  then we provided leading mobile imaging capability via the Cybershot brand; and now we’ve recently launched Sony's Exmor sensor technology on mobile phones. Going forward, Sony Ericsson expects the rapid change in mobile phones with gigahertz processors and high bit rates, combined with the open service environment, to turn mobile phones into the most innovative devices for imaging."
 
Sony Ericsson will also sponsor the 6Sight Mobile Imaging Summit, which is co-hosted by 6Sight Conferences LLC, Scalado, and Invest in Skåne. It will run November 15-17, 2011, and focus on camera phones and the rapidly evolving innovations in mobile imaging. The Summit will examine both the broad worldwide market forces, and the individual components and technologies that are advancing phone-based photography.

“Sony Ericsson has been a leader in mobile imaging since its inception,” said Joe Byrd, president of 6Sight Conferences. “We are fortunate to have them participate in our Mobile Imaging Summit and give us their unique perspective on an industry that they helped invent.”
