I had the N800 out on a job site the other day, and it occurred to me that the low-quality N800 camera could be made useful, if there was an application that bundled together the following functions:

1. Take a picture (Camera)
2. Sketch or input text on picture directly (Maemopad+ like)
3. Email picture out

I'm not a developer, but it seems the elements are all there for a usable app - is there already such an application? Thanks for listening.

Excellent idea! That would add a lot of functionality to the device. I hope someone can do this.

I can see the headlines now... "lolcatz photo rate goes up 10% due to new IT app..."

Nah, I like the idea : )
I only wish I could help develop it

As far as I remember Xournal allows custom background pictures for sketches. Plus it can export to pdf.

Nice idea!

Since we're dreaming it up can I add;
1) gps aware, stamp the lon/lat info
2) time stamp on the pic like some cameras do
3) voice note possibility
4) rudimentary brightness/control
5) of course history of all previous pics and email log
6) maybe direct upload to flickr or blog, etc

sorry, going on and on because it's an awesome idea omq

So what you're suggesting is that the app would work something like this, right?:

1) Snap a picture
2) Do some simple editing if desired (brightness/contrast, flip/rotate)
3) Type or sketch optional captions or notes
4) Save and/or send to one or more contacts

As far as stamping GPS info and timestamps, maybe it would make more sense to have it add those textually underneath the sent photo. (I'm assuming we want it to send it by email)

They should be in the EXIF tags, at any rate; then the recipient can get them, so I'm not sure what the point is of either printing or emailing them. Never hurts to have options, though.

There's a similar app called Sketches on the iphone - love the shake to erase idea.

I'm for your idea omq.
Gammer many thanks for xjournal tip. I've been using xjournal to write notes and so forth. Now I have a whole new way to use xjournal! Dan

So omq can already do everything he's talking about, right? It just takes using a few programs together (shoot the photo with Camera, edit it with Quiver if he needs to, bring the saved photo into Xournal, and attach it to an email with an already-existing email client).
