Some of the latest cell phones on the market today now offer take such high quality digital pictures that you can actually use them as a true camera, at least for personal and amateur pictures. This popular option is now being made available in almost all cell phones introduced today and some of them even offer the ability to record movies.
If you are wondering about how wide spread the usage of cell phones are now in general just take note of how many people go scrambling to look for theirs when they hear a ring at all. It is no surprise that the use of cellular phones has spread like wildfire. In an increasingly mobile world the cell phone provides a much needed convenience for many people.
The popularity of camera cell phones amazes some, but not me. It is the younger users that are driving this market and with the popularity of websites like MySpace teens want to share their pictures easily. If they own a camera phone that allows them to synch to their PC they can upload the images from their phone to their computer and have the ability to take and share pictures without the added expense of a digital camera.
The cell phones being brought to market today are capable of doing many tasks such as email, internet access, and appointment keeping but one of the things that is driving the market is the ability of a cell phone to operate as a digital camera and it is certain that these phones will only get better in quality and become even more popular in the months and years to come.
Of course like most of the new communications technology, camera phones were first introduced in Japan, who leads the market in communications technology. These camera cell phones found widespread acceptance in the Asian market but it was more than two years before they found their way to the United States. While not as popular at first as they were overseas, these gadgets have now become so in demand that it has been said that they could well become the most popular consumer owned device ever.
Some people may believe that owning a camera phone is no more advantageous than owning two separate devices but the fact is that owning a camera phone with a high quality camera built in is a much more user friendly device that will be used much more than a stand alone camera.

Your Cell Phone And The Environment
Directory Submission
An astonishing number of people own and use a cell phone (celular), with current figures totaling over 800 million worldwide. It has has become an important part of daily life, and improves business and travel opportunities, whilst providing the best possible level of communication across the globe.
However, the high numbers of users are also subject to changing trends for a number of reasons including improved features, fashion and accessories. This means that upgrades are a regular occurrence, with each device being used for an estimated 12 to 18 months. This means that there is a lot of cell phone waste.
Many users are not aware of the potential damage to the environment that incorrect disposal of cell phones (celular) can cause. Incorrect disposal means throwing any cell phone away, which is the typical fate assigned to an unwanted device. However, components within it can have a terrible impact on the environment and so need special disposal. All cell phones (celular) contain persistent metals which do not degrade in the environment. They also contain bioaccumulative metals which become toxic over period of time.
For instance, cadmium which is present in a cell phone (celular) is significant enough to cause damage in small doses. It is the seventh most harmful known chemical, and is capable of causing cancer. Cell phones also contain lead which causes liver damage in adults and neurological development problems in children when entered into the bloodstream. Other hazardous substances such as nickel and mercury provide further cause for concern.
If not disposed of properly, the metals from the cell phone (celular) can leak into the environment through corrosion and cause a series of problems in the environment. If thrown away, it will go to a landfill where it will remain. As many elements do not decompose, the level of harmful toxins increases and so does the potential damage. Lithium can burn with water exposure, and so can potentially begin underground fires when present in large quantities. Any of the hazardous or poisonous substances could contaminate local water supplies or the nearby soil. If either of these is affected than the toxins enter the food chain with terrible results.
In effect, incorrect disposal of the cell phone (celular) can create a form of poisoning. The immediate effects include health problems such as genetic or reproductive defects and detrimental effects upon the nervous system and delayed general development. The long term effect is global pollution. When waste that can not be broken down properly such as that in a cell phone (celular) is decomposing it creates methane gas. Methane gas is more damaging than CO2 and so has major impact on global warming. Not many people realize that all this can be caused by disposing it in an incorrect manner.
The best way to combat cell phone (celular) damage to the environment is to recycle it by returning it to a shop. This includes the accessories also. Some shops will ensure the product is sent to developing countries for reuse. Others will reclaim the metal parts to prevent them going into a landfill. Some cell phone companies even make a charity donation for every recycled device to encourage the practice. The other possibility is that they will ensure the product is sent for proper disposal. This includes disposal of hazardous materials.
Whichever option is used, the positive side effect is that less hazardous waste goes into the environment. Now that you know the facts, make sure that you dispose of your cell phone (celular) properly and remain environmentally sound with this one simple gesture.

Mobile Manners
Please let's put some manners into our mobile phone behaviour.
In the 1960s and the 1970s a popular slogan among the with-it generation was "ban the bomb". A half century later my personal slogan for the "tens" (twenty-tens that is) is starting to become "Ban the Mobile", and other similar wireless devices.
I recently conducted a series of training courses and seminars in a major city and was downright put out by the number of participants whose lives seem now to be dominated by and revolve around that palm sized oblong of metal and plastic that has become an icon of our culture.
Now don't get me wrong. I am not anti-technology. In fact the opposite is true - I am a technophile. I really love the stuff and try to keep up to date with all that is new, using it and adapting it I any which way that I can.
But, I do know when to draw the line.
What really got my goat (going back to my training courses and seminars) was the number of folk attending who were at any given moment busy checking their e-mails or sending messages or the like. I was really taken aback!
Firstly guys (and girls too), what you are doing is rude in the extreme. It is highly disrespectful to engage in something else when you are being spoken to. You wouldn't ignore your boss, to play with your e-mail, if he addressed you. Neither would you waste your boss' time and money to his face. Yet that is exactly what all these offenders were doing.
I really wonder how many of these people, who are so tied up in their own little worlds, are making market shaking decisions that simply could not wait just a little longer - to the tea break perhaps?
Secondly what you are doing is a total waste of time - yours and mine. It has been proved that the whole concept of "multi-tasking" is a fallacy. People can really only do one thing effectively at any given time. Any other concurrent activity will suffer as a result of trying to double or treble up.
So these folk who were so busily scrolling through their messages while I was lecturing them might as well have stayed at the office or frankly just stayed at home! Just think about the totally incompetent manner in which these people must run their jobs (and their lives).
Thirdly, to prove the point that I have just made, they missed all the important pieces of information that I was trying to get across to them. I kno that many of the important issues were missed simply from some of the asinine questions and comments made in the post course evaluation questionnaire.
It really riles me is when people complain that this subject or that topic was not covered when it actually was and the complainant who was so busy with their Blackberry or whatever simply missed the item when it came up.
It's high time that a little bit more consideration is given as to how people should be behaving in group situations vis-a-vis their work requirements. The often repeated mantras of having to be available 24/7 or having to respond to queries within thirty minutes are so much bunkum! If this was the case these people should be chained to their desks permanently (which would delight me no end).
If adults are going to behave like children, they should be treated like them too! We cannot punish them or put them in the corner or make them leave the room, but we can use technology to achieve the same end. I would dearly like to see a more active use of mobile signal blocking technology at conference and seminar venues.
But short of this extreme, I have a simple plea - "please, let's put some manners back into our use of the mobile phone and other communications devices."

Mobile Phone Number Directory
Do you ever receive prank calls on your mobile and you wish you could do something about that person? Many of us go through this situation everyday and we feel so helpless that we cannot do anything about it. Such calls can be really frustrating especially when there does not seem to be a full stop to it. If you have also been in a situation like this, then there is good news for you. Now, with the use of a reverse phone number directory, you can easily find out who those pranksters are.
Aside from finding out information about pranksters, there are many other uses of a reverse mobile phone number directory. When you make use of such a directory, you will get to know the name of the person owning a phone number as well as his address. These kinds of information can be useful for a number of reasons.
Firstly, if you want to send a parcel, card, or gift to a friend and you are not sure of his address but only have his number, you can use a reverse lookup directory to confirm his address. You can also call and ask him for his address, but there will be no surprise when he receives the mail. If you want to give a real surprise, confirm his address and send him a gift without even him knowing that there is something on the way for him.
A reverse mobile phone number directory is also useful if you are trying to avoid calls from telemarketers. Telemarketers are people who keep calling and convincing you to buy their products. These calls can be really irritating and you can avoid them if you lookup their number to see who they really are. Most of the time, these directories also provide additional details and other numbers that belong to the same person or company and this way you can easily avoid all those calls.

Yahoo Reverse Phone
A Yahoo reverse phone lookup might seem like what you need, but is it? Making sure you're doing the right type of search is important before you spend time trying to dig up information that just might be inaccurate and extremely outdated. Make sure you read through this entire guide so you don't make the same mistake countless others do when trying to perform a Yahoo reverse phone lookup.
If you've got a mysterious 10 digit phone number that keeps calling, leaving threatening messages or calling at all hours of the night then you might want to consider a reverse telephone search, but make sure you use the right service before spending time or money on one. The fact of the matter is a Yahoo reverse phone lookup will only work on numbers that are publicly listed land lines. Surveys and research show that a growing number of people are using their cellular phones as their home numbers, making them unsearchable via Yahoo or any other public directory for that matter. So what can you do?
The only real option is to use a privately held database. You've probably seen these before and not even realized what it was. Basically how they work is you are able to search for a number regardless of carrier or if it's a cell phone or land line and you can get the name and address of the owner in just a few seconds flat. Every day more and more people are using these services since the traditional manual lookup is almost completely unreliable these days. The information is mostly outdated and it just doesn't work for cell phones or newer telephone carriers.
