Research and Markets has just released a report into Camera Phones that found that sales of Camera Phones will soon exceed those of digital cameras. "This report forecasts that worldwide sales of camera-phones will exceed those of digital cameras this year, and that megapixel quality camera-phones will be on the market within months, with two and three megapixel units close behind. It further states that the challenges to mass-market adoption of camera-phones in the U.S. - both business and technical - will be met within the next 12 months, noting that carriers such as Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T have already been paving the way with television and print ads featuring picture messaging.
