Description

We spend the bulk of the show talking to the man that transferred the first photo through a phone into the internet... back in 1997. He then went on with his business partner and wife to make the first commercially viable Camera-Phone in Japan before later doing the same in the United States. Our conversation is with Philippe Kahn and that's right after the top news stories of the week, so make sure you’re charged and ready for the Pocketnow Weekly! Watch the video recorded from 8:50pm Eastern on June 16th (coming soon), or check out the high-quality audio version right here. You can shoot your listener emails to podcast@pocketnow.com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air the following week!
