'Ghoulish' injury pics condemned
The BBC reports on a story illustrating a very dark and ghoulish side of youngsters using their cameraphones.
"Youths used camera phones to take pictures of a young boy who impaled himself on his bicycle in Birmingham, hampering the work of firefighters.
It happened in Wheeler Street in the Lozells area of the city on Monday night as the nine-year-old victim was being comforted by his mother.
West Midlands Fire Service spokesman Bill Gough said between 10 and 15 youths gathered to take pictures.
Mr Gough said: "These people were actually taking photographs of this youngster in these unfortunate circumstances using their mobile phones.
"They were getting very close to him to take their photographs and
it must have been really scary for the boy, who was obviously in great
pain."

Italian directors shoot 93-minute film with cameraphone
Italian directors have completed a 93-minute documentary they say is the first feature film to be entirely shot by such a technique. (Not the first by my books*, but the longest - a 35mm feature film entitled Sugar Man was shot with the Sony Ericsson W900i last year).
Called "New Love Meetings," it was filmed in a MPEG4 format with a Nokia N90 -- a regular, higher-end cell phone on sale around the globe, documentary co-director Marcello Mencarini said.
"With the widespread availability of cell phones equipped with cameras, anybody could do this," Mencarini said in a telephone interview from Milan. "If you want to say something nowadays, thanks to the new media, you can."

*The world’s first full-length movie to be shot entirely on cellphones - entitled SMS Sugar Man - was wrapped up in Johannesburg last Fall. The 35mm feature film was shot by Aryan Kaganof, the prolific writer/director of numerous feature films, shorts and videos.

"3G for all" Program
At a meeting yesterday in India, the board of the GSM Association approved a "3G for all" program
to bring 3G multimedia services and mobile Internet access to many more
people in both the developed and the developing worlds. [Press Release]
"Over the next few months, a group of operator members of the GSMA plan to establish a core set of common requirements for 3G handsets to create the economies of scale that will allow mobile phone suppliers to rapidly bring down the cost of manufacturing these high-tech devices.
Under the initiative, which builds on the success of the GSMA's Emerging Market Handset programme, mobile phone suppliers will compete to design a 3G handset that meets the operators' common requirements.
The GSMA will endorse the winning handset, which will be widely deployed by operators participating in the program.

A multimedia archaeological tour on your mobile phone
An Italian-led research project is developing a service that allows visitors to use their cameraphones to get a personalised guide to archaeological sites and museums, reports IST Results.
"The Agamemnon project is working on an
interactive multimedia system that provides relevant text, videos,
speech and pictures with 3D reconstructions, to visitors' mobile
telephones, says Matteo Villa, an engineer from the project coordinator, Milan-based
TXT e-Solutions.
"Agamemnon tailors a visit path based on site visitors’ interests, cultural knowledge and time available. The on-screen itinerary constantly updates as the visitor moves around the site. The system's image-recognition function allows visitors to dial in via a data line, photograph objects they are interested in and receive information about them. Agamemnon also takes voice commands."

Radar Funk [WMMNA]
RadarFunk is software for mobile phones that can scan drawings and transform them into beats.
Users are invited to frame one of the several patterns, shoot a picture, and the player starts sending notes to the server.
Framing exactly the center of the image can produce a regular beat, but moving a bit off center can give a shuffle result (swing). [reBlogged from WMMNA]

Agoravox opens Sports-Themed Citizen Media Blog
French citizen media blog Agoravox is launching - and to the best of my knowledge this is a real first - a sports themed citizen blog (in French) to get sport fans' input and photos
- from tennis tournaments such as Roland Garros and Wimbledon, cycling
events like The Tour de FRANCE and of course, with football frenzy
kicking off tonight in Europe - the World Cup.
It's called Sport-Vox.
