I've been exploring creative ways to use the camera on my Windows Mobile device to boost my productivity.  Qipit provides a way to copy and email or fax documents to anyone at any time.  Qipit is almost like having a scanner in my pocket.

Click a picture from your cellphone camera (or any digital camera)

The quality of the processing is dependent on the quality of the picture that is emailed to qipit, so make sure the lighting is good and set the resolution on the cellphone camera accordingly.  Qipit's website provides the following recommendations:

"For your mobile phone: You need a camera that has at least a resolution of 1 MegaPixel. For creating copies of documents you will need to make sure your camera phone has auto-focus or a macro-mode and it is turn on. You do not need this for making copies of whiteboards and flip charts. Set the resoution to High quality to get the best results. Also, turn off MMS or picture resizing if your carrier give you the option.

For your digital camera: You don't need to use the maximum quality because you would generate pictures that need to be sized down. For example a resolution of 5 mega pixels is not required. Set the quality of your digital camera to 3 mega pixels and you will get a very good result."

Email the picture to your qipit account. 

Qipit processes the picture and turns it into a PDF file.  It takes a few minutes for qipit to do this, but once completed Qipit will send you an email and let you know it's done.

Share the file with yourself, friends, family, clients!

Once the file is processed, you can download (view), email, or fax the file directly from qipit's website or you can go to qipit's mobile website from your mobile device

Qipit from your computer

Qipit from your Mobile Device

Qipit sends an email to let you know the file is ready to go once the file is processed.  If you've got email set up on your mobile device, you can select the link in the email to go to qipit's mobile website. 

From Qipit's mobile website you can:
Download the file (PDF)	View the original image (Image),
Email the file	Fax the file

Automatically fax or email files

If you include email addresses or fax numbers in the body of your email to qipit, qipit will email or fax the files to those folks as soon as the files are processed into a digital PDF file. See "Why wait to send an email or fax? Qipit right from your phone!" for more information.

Qipit is free! Go signup and see for yourself how great it is!

To start using qipit, all you need to do is register for an account and start taking pictures.
