Wassup, I just wanna know if anybody knows how can I send an image file from my computer to a list of contacts? I wish that this image displays automatically on the receivers' cell and stores also automatically. I guess it's kinda likewhat happens with your email account but applied to cell phones.Thanks a lot!Daniel.

Well, I'll respond to this but with some hesitation - I'm worried that you might be engaging in something that many would consider spam.In any respect, your question has a few things to consider. First, which types of phone are you targeting. Older phones that are only WAP enabled and cannot read XHTML will only be able to see 8 bit images - which you can make in photshop with a free filter. However, if the phone, like the newere ones, have the new browsers (like Blazer) then they are wap and xhtml compliant. That means you can code a strict xhtml document and except it to render fine. Of course, you have to account for the fact that most new phones have less than a 320x320 viewable screen.Having said that, go to http://www.metropolis3.com. Now type the same address on your web enabled mobile phone. You will be redirected to http://www.metropolis3.com/mobile/.I've built a sniffer that checks http_accept values for the referrring browser. If it contains WAP and XHTML, I direct them to the /mobile/ directory where regular pages are stored - but xhtml strict coded. If the browser only accepts WAP and not XHTML, then I take them somewhere else (which you browser is not able to see). Otherwise it dumps to the regular site.So, having said all that, for the majority of the newer phones (Treo) you simply need to code a XHTML strict page that is no wider than 320px. Then email them a message with a link to the page. But there will not be a way for them to just simply see the image. Your web page cannot call them and then show thema picture - you have to deliver the message through email and then either try showing it in the email or have them click a link to view your image.
