Camera phones are on the rise. Industry experts project in two years time, 80 percent of all mobile phones will include a built-in camera and by 2007, camera phones are expected to outnumber digital cameras. A new Yahoo! Program called �Picture What Matters� is even asking people to use their camera phones to capture what�s important in life. From viewing the entries, Doug Garland with Yahoo!, says it�s clear why American�s are snapping up the popular phone:
�It�s really about communicating, and sometimes that�s easier with an image. So we created this contest to inspire people to use camera phones to show what they value most. The response to that contest was great and we received photos of everything from their family to the environment and, of course, their pets. Yahoo! is going to be donating 10-thousand dollars to the winner�s charity of choice, so we really encourage people to get out and vote.�
To view the finalists in the �Picture What Matters� contest and to vote for your favorite, go online to photos-dot-yahoo-dot-com.
The winner of the contest will be announced on the Fuse T-V Music Network.
