Transfering images between phones

phones nowadays have almost replaced cameras especially now the quality of phone cameras is so good and its alot easier to share your photos with your friends and family on a mobile phone.
there are multiple ways to send images not just mms.

Bluetooth is a very common way to send images you just need both phones to have bluetooth which most do, its very simple and straight forward to do, you just turn your bluetooth on connect with theres then send the data.

If you have internet access on your phone you can very quickly send an email to the person your wishing to show the image too you just attach the image to the email , or you can upload it (facebook,myspace and twitter) and aslong as they have internet access they can look at it.
 
Infrared is very like bluetooth you can wirelessly send data to other moblies or computers, it has a shorted range than bluetooth, but is still usefull quick and easy.

USB connection is a usb wire which you put into your phone and you can put into your computer to send the data.
 
Memory cards are small cards that go into your mobile phones and store the data if you save your data on to there and then put the memory card in another phone they can view your image.

Which computer?

Theres many different types of computers that suit different people depending on your lifestyle of job.

If you were a traffic warden then I would say a PDA is appropriate for you cause your job is mostly outside so a computer or a laptop pr netbook just wouldnt work.
 
If you are a teacher i would advise a laptop because then any work youve done at school you can take home or just around the school (from classroom to staff room).

If you are a gp and are staying in the same building through out your day than a desktop would suit you.

If your a news reporter a netbook or PDA , PDA you can take on your person everywhere but a netbook if you are writting up a news report and you can email it , nowadays there are plently of places with free wifi.

If you are a website designer then i would say a notebook there small so easy to take to a clients house or office and they do exactly the same as a laptop does just comapct.
