Take the Picture, AND THEN Choose a Resolution

Simple idea huh? Then how come no one has done it? That’s exactly what the folks at Research In Motion were probably thinking when they filed patent 11/934,129. Expect to see this feature on Blackberry devices soon, if not already. (Sorry, although I own several Windows Mobile phones and an iPhone, I don’t own a Blackberry.) The patent application describes a method for essentially storing a photo at the highest resolution after you’ve snapped a photo with your camera phone, and adjusting the photo to a different resolution which you are prompted for. This does sound convenient, as I always forget to lower the resolution for photos that I want to email.
