Scribbling On Digital Photos

Posted by kdawson on from the oh-so-clever dept.

JagsLive notes a patent application filed in the US by Nokia for a way to 'scribble on the back' of digital photos. Nokia's approach is similar to the iPod's Cover Flow, except that Nokia users will be able to flip through their snaps, select one, and then turn it over and annotate the back just using SMS-like text entry. The scribble becomes an integral part of the saved photo.

    I seem to remember an experimental Linux desktop that allowed you to flip a window and annotate on the back.

      Maybe you are thinking of Sun's Project Looking Glass
