My new phone (T-Mobile SDA) has a decent camera and I've been travelling a bit so the issue of what to do with my camera phone pix is a real issue. The current solution means syncing my phone to my PC and then doing something with the pix - email them, uploading them to Flickr, etc. A tedious process which frankly leaves the vast majority of pictures on phones. Shozu is a service brought to you by Cognima, a small UK compnay that has been around for few years. ...Shozu, which provides a "zero-click" way to get pictures off your phone and onto a service. First, you download the app for your Windows Mobile phone. Set it up to point to your photo service of choice (Flickr, Buzznet, Webshots, etc.). Next, every picture you take will get zapped up to the service automagically - no muss, no fuss. You can add titles, tags, etc."</i><br /><br />It's hard to avoid camera phones now. They seem to be in every phone, and if it's not in your current phone, chances are good that it will be in your next. The <a href="http://www.shozu.com/portal/">Shozu</a> service is a lot like the <a href="http://www.SplashBlog.com">Splash Blog</a> but it uses your own Flickr account as a file store. If you already have an online picture gallery, it sounds like Shozu is a great solution to capture and log your pictures.

I happened to write a short review of Shozu yesterday on my blog...

In short, I think the service is great, is extremely well designed and well thought out.
