New York Polic Department embraces picture messaging
Cameraphones. They’re everywhere these days. From James Bond to your grandmother, cameras in cellphones are a fact of life. And, cameraphones are good for more than just taking badly-framed self-portraits or the occasional candid photo on the street, they can also be used to fight crime.
