Manage Digital camera from PDA

With wireless support being widely spread, and cheaper as time goes by – this could be used to use PDA (such as palm or pocket PC) for managing the pictures from your digital camera (or even few cameras)

Of copurse it would be great if there is a standard for that.

Advantages:

1. Extesibility: PDA is easier to update and, by download and install, new software – independent of the camera support (just as you can manage the pictures on PC with any relevant software) this can include zoom in, tagging, color enhancing, and many other file and image manipulation that your PDA CPU can handle.

2. PDA screen size is usually wider than digital camera view findersee idea: “Remote Viewfinder for Camera” by XyWriter

3. Cost: If one (e.g. professional photographer) uses more than one camera – the same PDA can be used to extend abilities of all cameras at once (provided that all of them have the required wireless support)

4. Storage support – See the idea Unlimited Digital Photo memory by lacouture when managing vast amount of pictures – you need better managing tools such at tagging, sort by location (See GPS and Digital Photos by XyWriter), etc
