practical use for cameras in mobile phones

In Intel's research labs, camera phones are being used as pointing devices, authentication devices, and storage devices. Intel researchers have also shown how camera phones can provide user interfaces for systems that, because of cost and/or form factor, aren't able to accommodate a display of their own.

IMHO, this is the first practical use of a camera in a mobile!
