Camera phones killing mobile wallpapers

Mobile wallpaper exampleHave a camera phone? Sure you do – as most of the latest handsets come with a built-in camera.

Apparently, that camera in your phone is one of the reasons mobile wallpaper sales are going down. It seems that people prefer to have their own photo on the mobile phone screen than to purchase one.

“While a cameraphone in the pocket of most mobile phone owners may have picked the proverbial pockets of graphics publishers, the penetration of this technology has a positive impact on operator data revenues overall as consumers increasingly purchase photo messaging bundles,” said Mark Donovan, senior vice president and senior analyst, M:Metrics.

So, everything is not lost for the carriers. And I just started crying for their margins. (via: Mad4MobilePhones) :)

    I love to create my own wallpaper. It is such fun and it gives a personal touch to my collection. I can give my wallpaper collection a name. I can also give each picture a name also. I can arrange my wallpaper into a slide show. I have a Motorola V3re and i love it.
