Back in the Bottle

To follow up on this post, the Register is reporting that Sprint is coming out with a cameraless version of the Treo smartphone for enterprise use. Apparently businesses are nervous about their employees taking pictures of business secrets or other inappropriate things, so Sprint has "blinded" the phones. As the Register dryly puts it, "There's no word yet of Xerox producing a tonerless copier machine, which suggests that the fear of camera phones is more a matter of perception." --Clay Posted by at June 9, 2004 07:52 AM | TrackBack
