There's a new trend out there, driven by innovation and integration of wireless networking and digital imaging. Consider:
- This camera from Ricoh, combining digital camera, web server, and WLAN link (via John Robb)
- This camera, setting a new size record (small) and truly cool new imaging technique
- The millions of phonecams now in use by teenagers and geeks, used for IM-like communications via images
All this JPEG content being driven onto the web will be the replacement for the bandwidth demand we lost when Napster and p2p music died. This content and bandwidth demand will grow geometrically, so in a year or two...wow! Now if the ISPs carrying the bits can just get healthy with the new demand.
