Collecting a picture in a List column and mobile take picture integration options
We have a requirement to collect pictures in list columns. Possible? We'd like to collect the list data via a mobile device and ideally be able to collect the picture column seamlessly using the mobile devices camera. I understand this will present a number of challenges, especially if using a web page and more than one mobile device platform. How about just from iPad? Not asking for a solution, just ideas on how we might approach this.

Hi, In SharePoint custom list you can create a custom newitem.aspx page and add a browse button on that page so user's can directly upload pictures from camera or storage device. Please take a look @ following URL to add browse button in newitem.aspx page http://kalsing.blogspot.com/2006/11/create-custom-list-form-for-sharepoint.htmlWarm Regards, Pratik Vyas | SharePoint Consultant | http://sharepointpratik.blogspot.com/

Yes we have created custom newform pages before. But I think new control would have to be smart about the iPad camera API and the SharePoint library. What kind of control would this be? ActiveX and Javascript? I would imaging it would only work on Apple clients right? Would it be more apple development or Web development? The other challenge for us is that we want to build something like a webpart that could point to any custom list.
