With customers including AFP, The US Marine Corps, and The Associated Press, Pocket Phojo has proven itself as the ideal replacement for bulky laptops, successfully getting images back to base from Mount Everest, the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in a rowing boat, and a few football matches in Germany. Pocket Phojo 4.0 has unique new features designed for covering large events such as the World Cup, where it was used to great effect. Simply connect your Pocket PC to your Canon 1D Mark II, Mark II N, or 1Ds Mark II via USB, take your photos as normal, then all you have to do is press the Protect button on the back of the camera to transmit a fully captioned and press ready image via WiFi, Bluetooth Phone, or BGAN satellite modem, while you keep shooting! Pocket Phojo has become an extremely powerful yet easier to use alternative to the Canon WFT-E1 WiFi transmitter, and greatly extends the capabilities of the supported cameras."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey20060727-PocketPhojo.jpg" /><br /><br />If you're a professional photographer, then you may be interested to hear what new features Pocket Phojo 4.0 has to offer. Alongside support for real-time photo snapping and transmission, Pocket Phojo 4.0 allows you to geotag photos with a GPS receiver connected to a Pocket PC, and also open RAW files in their entirety. As far as Pocket PCs are concerned, some of these concepts haven't been explored much, so it's great seeing Idruna taking the first steps forward. The application itself isn't cheap, but then, you'd be hard-pressed finding features like this elsewhere.
