Tony Henning's, managing editor of the Future Image Mobile Imaging Report, estimates that more than 300 million camera-phones will be sold during 2005, compared to about 85 million digital cameras.
"Nine out of 10 digital images taken by consumers (this year) will be captured with camera phones". Combine this with Google's Picasa and Hello, Yahoo!'s Photomail and HP's ever improving printing abilities, and I think that it would be safe to argue that anyone still in the traditional photo business (or even selling digital cameras), better starts specialising in the professional market or find a job in the mobile business. On the other hand, any retailer still having a bit of rack space left, probably makes a good deal in starting to stock up on inkjet cartridges.
