Sony Ericsson Links New Camera Phone With Online Services

From PC World: The Sony Ericsson C903 Cyber-shot camera phone comes with integrated support for YouTube, Flickr and Picasa, and the slider phone also supports faster uploads at speeds up to 2Mbps, Sony Ericsson announced on Tuesday.

Mobile phone vendors are putting more effort on tighter integration with popular Internet services, and also making them easier to use on their devices, according to Sony Ericsson spokesman Mattias Holm.

The addition of integration with YouTube, Flickr and Picasa is a nice addition, but it is nothing that will set Sony Ericsson apart from the competition, according to Carolina Milanesi, research director at Gartner.

Sony Ericsson needs to add more advanced Internet support on its devices, and not just add features that other phone vendors already offer, Milanesi said.

The C903 Cyber-shot will replace the existing C902 model. It comes with a 5-megapixel camera, a LED (Light Emitting Diode) flash and a 2.4-inch display. Other camera features include Smile Shutter, which will automatically snap a picture when the subject smiles, and face detection.
