Does anyone know if the Sanyo 8100 allow the pictures to be retrieved directly from the camera (via cable or infrared)?

i'm not aware that it does... yet another annoyingly absent feature.

I looooove the phone cam blog! It comes across as free verse poetry with pictures.

truly beautiful and interesting.

my wife has Motorola 720i with a camera and the lenses can be rotated 180 degrees. This way you can aim at the subject of your pic while looking at the LCD.

It's not super easy, but it's certainly possible to use Movable Type for phonecam blogs like mine: http://a.wholelottanothing.org/mophos/

I have a RSS feed for it that renders images in HTML-aware newsreaders: http://a.wholelottanothing.org/mophos/index.rdf

I forgot to add, here's how I do it: http://a.wholelottanothing.org/archives.blah/006737

Xeni, you should definitely try the Nokia 3650. Great camera (relatively speaking) and cool video snippets too!

If anyone wants to learn about the Nokia Image Upload Protocol, I have some notes here, and will be developing that source code further.

(I just noticed this off boing boing, and am not very likely to come back here, so watch my site for updates concerning that on this weekend.)

I hate to look whiny, which is why I'm posting anonymously,

but, how can I get a job like Xeni?

She seems to be able to blog her heart out, dart around LA's (or is it NYC's?) finest digerati hotspots, and purchase the latest top-of-the-line gargoyle gear.

No kids, I'm assuming, which probably helps.

Meanwhile plenty of other perfectly intelligent and well-spoken geeks are collecting unemployment.

I admit, I'm extremely envious. I don't know when I'll be able to upgrade my once-uber-leet Kyocera 6035. Phonecam? What's that?

In the words of Balki in All Your Smurf: "Dear God. Hire me. Please."
