Philippe Khan was then integrate the camera with a cell phone, which is then written on the back of the software are made, which was named ShaMail or PictureMail. This allows the tool is used to share images with other phones.

Khan was then successfully developed the software, then establish Lightsurf. This is done so that his creations can be known to the public. Khan was not aware that there are two companies that are competing to develop the first commercial camera phone.

Both technology companies are from Japan, Sharp and Kyocera. At that Kyocera makes the system design for video sharing. While Sharp was able to focus more share images in real time.

Sharp is a later won the competition in getting the pairing them with a software technology developed PictureMail. The results of the collaboration was then applied in the first commercial camera phone, J-Phone or J-SHO4 in 2001 in Japan.

J-SHO4 success of this Conference and the other mobile phone manufacturers to make camera phones. Thus, in 2006, there were at least 50 percent of mobile devices that have cameras.

However, not many people know that the history of camera phone is an innovation that made his heart, as a gift from a father to her new born.
