Is nothing sacred anymore? I just finished reading an article that said advertising to our cell phones is inevitable. I will agree with the article, that advertising on mobile phones has an enormous potential and we are probably years away from seeing anything major in this area. I do get an occasional message from my mobile carrier but usually don't give it the time of day and just delete it. To me this is a personal invasion of my time and property (my cell phone).
I personally don't see this coming along, unless, like the article says, ALL carriers agree to advertising. Can you imagine if everyone but one was advertising? Everyone would just switch over to the carrier with no advertising. AND even if they did, don't you think there would be just one smart person in this world that would offer a non-advertising cell phone service? I think you get the idea.
But, after thinking about this. The other angle might be something like: Hey, we will GIVE you a cell phone, or we will GIVE you free service, just look at our advertisement and acknowledge it. Sort of like click through points. That might work.

Is these a phone or camera? One of the famous mobile phone maker in China, Beijing Tianyu Communication Equipment has just announced their In-Xiang series (K-Touch) camera phone. First three models of the series has been introduced, which all powered by 7 and 8 megapixel camera module and 3x optical zoom capability. The company claims to have added the phone functionality into the digital camera, but not adding a camera functionality to the mobile phone.
Announced last week in China, the new K-Touch C800 and C280 are powered by a 8 megapixel CCD camera module, the K-Touch C700 is using a 7 megapixel CCD camera module instead. While there is no reviews available to confirm the photo quality yet, the camera phones is just like your digital camera with 3x optical zoom, Xenon flash, image stabilizer, face recognition and support up to 1600 ISO sensitivity.
It looks like the phones are using a seperate processor or software to handle the photo taking. The K-Touch C800 and C280 have 2 microSD card slot, both your camera photos and phones data are stored in seperate memory card. When you want to add your photos to your mms or email, there is no way for you to access the camera memory card. Basically to do that you will have to swap the memory card into the phone memory card slot, pretty troublesome design I would say.
Check out the phone specification and photos below for now before we see the real photo sample from these models.
