...least one choice is relatively simple and can be rendered in plain English. Do you want to be able to take pictures with your phone and email them to anyone from anywhere? Cell phones with cameras are all the rage in Japan, and they're starting to invade our shores. The quality isn't exactly Ansel Adams, but the quick-pic payoff - Look, Ma, here I am in the Big Apple! - can be addictive. Imagine all the day-to-day situations in which it would be nice to show someone what you're seeing at the moment...
