For example, you can easily find any file from your camera by searching because your search engine is right on the camera, not at home. You could quickly rename those thousands of non-descriptive names your camera gives to your files (see Productivity Tip: Rename Many Pictures at Once). You could easily rotate, resize and print your pictures directly from your digital camera. Finally, you can easily integrate the data on your camera to data on your desktop, flash drive, network, etc. The picture below shows Gaviri PocketSearch running off my Sony digital camera.
