Abstract

The mobile phone culture is moving towards the multimedia messaging era. When mobile camera phones and MMS messages are available, users can take photographs and send them to each other. Later on, it will be possible to attach video clips to MMS messages and maybe even transmit real-time mobile video. In this paper, we present some future outlines of the use of mobile camera phones in the Finnish mobile culture. We study how mobile users conceptualise mobile camera phones and mobile image messaging. Our goal is to identify different meanings that the users relate to mobile camera phones when they do not have actual experience in using them.
