VISIONARY ROUNDTABLE
Amsterdam 2005

Five distinguished industry leaders will join Moderator Alexis Gerard, President of Future Image, for this edition of the prestigious Mobile Imaging Summit Visionary Roundtable. |

Juha Putkiranta, Senior VP, Imaging Business Unit, Multimedia Business Group, Nokia; Tony Kypreos, VP of Messaging, T-Mobile International; Larry Lesley, Senior VP, Consumer Imaging and Printing, Hewlett-Packard; Bernard Masson, President, Digital & Film Imaging System, & Senior Vice President, Eastman Kodak; and Lisa Walker, President of I3A will engage in a spirited discussion on the topic of “The 2 Megapixel Promise” for the camera-phone and related industries.
The history of the digital camera industry points to 2 Megapixels of resolution as the image quality “tipping point” for widespread acceptance. Camera-phones meeting that specification have been available in Asia for some time, and are now set to spread to the European markets. However architectural differences between DSCs and camera-phones could yield very different user experiences, and the public’s expectations have been revised upward by the resolution “arms race” in digital cameras. Messaging and channel development will also play an important role.
Roundtable participants and Summit attendees will discuss prospects, risks and opportunities, focusing on strategies to take maximum advantage of the advent of next-generation camera-phones.

Visionary Roundtable,
Moderated by Alexis Gerard, President, Future Image.
The “Two Megapixel Promise” for the camera-phone and related industries. The history of the digital camera industry points to 2 Megapixels of resolution as the image quality “tipping point” for widespread acceptance. Camera-phones meeting that specification have been available in Asia for some time, and are now set to spread to the European markets. However architectural differences between Digital Still Cameras and camera-phones could yield very different user experiences, and the public’s expectations have been revised upward by the resolution “arms race” in digital cameras. Messaging and channel development will also play an important role.

Session 1 – Mobile Imaging in the Home,
Moderated by Paul Worthington, Managing Editor, The Future Image Executive Information Service.
Consumers are demanding that their camera-phones become full citizens of their home imaging systems. They want to easily transfer, print, store and display their camera-phone images to PCs and printers. Soon they will demand similar integration with TVs, projectors and media servers. When and how will that happen? We’ll also explore the issue of remote access to home media depositories from remote devices.

Session 2 – Camera in a phone or Phone in a camera?
Moderated by Tony Henning, Managing Editor, the Future Image Mobile Imaging Report. Increasing bandwidth, along with miniaturization and standardization of components, are liberating product designers from what were until recently hard-and-fast barriers, such as those between phones and cameras, and between still and motion capture devices. This revolution in design possibilities brings to the forefront factors like user preferences, ergonomics, and cultural and social factors. What will tomorrow’s mobile image capture products look like when the dust settles?

Session 3 – Mobile Imaging at Retail,
Moderated by Paul Worthington, Managing Editor, The Future Image Executive Information Service.
How can bricks-and-mortars retailers photofinishers and camera stores – benefit from the anticipated explosion of printing from camera-phones? More broadly, what will it take for them to participate in the camera-phone ecosystem - a transition which promises to be more complex than the film-to-digital evolution they are still struggling with. Should they sell camera-phones? Accessories? Carrier services? Bundle prints in with one or the other? Or should they just bluetooth enable their self-service print kiosks? What are the necessary investments in equipment and skill sets? How can return on investment be projected?

Session 4 – Visual Content for Mobile Devices,
Moderated by Tony Henning, Managing Editor, The Future Image Mobile Imaging Report.
Camera-phones and other mobile imaging devices are not just image capture devices: their high-resolution color screens make them ideal for viewing images and video, too. How is the market shaping up for distribution of commercial visual content to these platforms, from sports clips to location-based visual information? What are the drivers and inhibitors for this mobile imaging content market?

Session 8 - Mobile Imaging Online,
Moderated by Paul Worthington, Managing Editor, The Future Image Executive Information Service. From the user’s standpoint having to downloading images from a camera-phone to a PC in order to have access to Online imaging applications makes about as much sense as being forced to connect their mobile phone to a land line in order to make a call. This session will examine opportunities such as phone-to-phone sharing, photo and video blogging, and the potential for online photo sharing and print services to dispense with the PC.
