The cameraphone certainly has changed a lot of things in our society. It began when that one kid caught a pedophile who was trying to pick him up on the street of New Jersey. The kid got the guy's face on the phone and the guy was caught within hours. Cameraphone's also bringing in the change to journalisms too. Especially citizen journalisms.
Nokia and Reuters have been working together as a parter in developing new mobile reporting technologies. They just finished the trial period of N-95 based "Mobile Journalism Toolkit". Keep in mind that the N95 has a 5MP camera on it.
The new technology will bring "moblogging" to a new level. Reporters during the trail were given a hardware bundle that has N95, SU-8W portable keyboard (Nokia's), a Sony condenser mic with special N95 adapter, a trippod and two Power Monkey power stations, including the solar-capable Explorer. All of that linked to custom mobile CMS that will allow stories to be posted instantly. Reuters also partnered with Comvu for GPS-linked video streaming.
Now that the trail period is over, both Nokia and Reuters are planning to use these kits to teach journalism students and to promote the cause of citizen journalism.
I know that the N95 isn't really a pocket PC, but its versatility and productivity are unquestionable. I guess you can shell out a lot of money for that kind of phone for more than just a media player after all.
