The software that acts the same as a scanner, works with camera phones that have a resolution of 1 mega pixel or more, creating a digital image of documents. It will check and amend fuzziness and shadows, compress the the image in to a file compatible with a fax machine, another phone or to a computer via Bluetooth or MMS. Images can then be printed. Release is set for later this year.</p> Xerox Research Centre Europe have just developed ‘mobile document imaging software’.

Common belief had it that Japanese companies and customers really wanted Japan to have advances before the rest of the world, especially the states. The popular opinion was that they wanted status symbols of tech superiority. My personal thoughts on this are that many westerners underestimate Japan's difficulties with bridging cultural and linguistic barriers. It can be very tricky for Japanese companies to market abroad. It is also notoriously difficult for foreign companies to operate within Japan. </p> Things are getting more sci-fi all the time.
