Are You
on Top of the Dramatic Changes in the Mobile Imaging Industry?
The
history-making success of camera-phones has driven the emergence of a new
industry: Mobile Imaging. Your success hinges on your ability to stay on top
of fast-moving developments in this explosively developing market. The
products. The technology. The companies. The people. The deals. Who’s
winning? Who’s losing? Who will be tomorrow’s superstar — or tomorrow’s
falling star?
Sorting through
the maze of information is getting increasingly difficult. The morning’s
press release is old news by lunchtime. And you’d have to be super-human to
catch every bit that’s crucial to your job and company. Information from
every corner of the globe, in a myriad of languages, posted and printed in
literally millions of different “spots.” Not to mention that understanding
the significance of this deluge of facts requires fluency in the technology
and business issues of wireless telecommunications as well as digital
imaging.
So it takes a
lot to be an MI3 – a Mobile Imaging Industry Insider. It’s a time-consuming,
often overwhelming task – but it’s worth it. The payoffs are better
partners, deals, reputations, and faster advancement for MI3’s and their
companies. And now there’s a fast track – the Mobile Imaging Report.

MIR – The
Mobile Imaging Report Service
Announcing a
unique new service that does the “heavy lifting” for you. Backed by the
experts at Future Image, Inc., hosts of the acclaimed Mobile Imaging Summit
executive conferences (www.gmedication.com)
and the world leader in research, reports, and consultation on all
developments at the intersection of digital, mobile, and imaging.
Our team of
analysts, writers, and editors, led by Tony Henning, Future Image’s top
Mobile Imaging expert, spends all day – every day – combing the world for
the Mobile Imaging nuggets you NEED to know. Not just the magazine articles
you read every month, or even the news services you subscribe to. Our
sources are varied and unique. Translated newswires from countries like
Japan, Korea, and Scandinavia. Phone calls and e-mails with our network of
MI3 colleagues – analysts, investors, and executives at the key companies in
the field, who rely on our analysis and advice. All analyzed, synthesized
and delivered to you in the Mobile Imaging Report, every week.
Tony has 35
years of experience in visual communication — 20 years as a successful
commercial photographer, 10 years as a developer of visual asset management
software, and five years as an analyst with Future Image. His 2001 report
“Wireless Imaging – Overcoming the Challenges” identified and defined the
new industry, long before it became a global phenomenon. His 2002 report
“The Camera-Phone Phenomenon” was first to point out that camera-phones were
about to become the most widely-used image capture devices in history.
(And if you’re
willing to pay a bit more, you can even book Tony’s time and consult with
him personally, by phone, e-mail and fax – see below.)
What's
MIR, and How Do I Get It?
MIR is the Mobile Imaging Report
subscription service. It consists of four valuable components, each one
worth the price of admission:
-
MIR Weekly: Each week (47 times a
year — everyone deserves some time off!) subscribers receive an e-mail
with a brief description of the week’s editorial with a link to the full
text and illustrations on our password-protected Web site.
-
MIR Reports: We publish in-depth
reports on key issues six times a year, delivered to subscribers as
site-licensed PDF files. These are the same reports that non-subscribers
buy for $2,000 each.Past reports have included “4 x 6 Shoot-Out – Are
Camera-Phones Ready To Make Consumer Prints?,” “Sending Photos Phone to
Phone: Challenges & Opportunities,” “Turning Push into Pull – Driving
Clicks and Prints From Camera-Phones,” and “Megapixel Camera-Phones
North America – A Comparative Overview.”We’ve just published “Mobile
Imaging and the Future of Bandwidth – The Battle for Network Control”
and “The Language of Mobile Imaging – A Glossary of 1,405 Technical &
Business Terms.” Planned for this year are a series of reports on
Reinventing the Lens — including liquid lenses, software-assisted
lenses, piezo actuators, and more.
-
The MIR Archives: Every story and
report we’ve produced dating back to when we initiated coverage of the
area in June 2000. This treasure-trove of more than 6,000
keyword-searchable pages and 2,500 illustrations lets you dig out the
research you need to back up your next presentation or pitch.
-
Mobile Megapixel Monitor (MMM) a
database of every camera-phone available in the North American market
with one-megapixel or better resolution. The database tracks 20
imaging-specific fields of information about each model, including
manufacturer, model, carrier, availability, price, style, dimensions,
sensor type, sensor resolution, optical zoom, digital zoom, flash, video
capability, camera features, display capabilities, removable media,
connectivity options, special features, and a high-res photo.
-
And last but not least: Tony
Henning. Our higher-priced subscription levels give you personal,
private access to the world’s leading Mobile Imaging expert. Think of
him as your Industry Insider friend – call or e-mail him if you need to
pick his brain about the future direction of one of the many industry
sub-segments; find out the name and contact info (and maybe even an
introduction) for a potential partner; learn which companies are hiring
top executives — almost anything! (Of course, Tony will never betray the
confidence of the many industry leaders who consult with him daily.)
