  • Li Bai

    Li Bai (701 – 762), also known as Li Po, was a Chinese poet acclaimed from his own day to the present as a genius and a romantic figure who took traditional poetic forms to new heights. He and his friend Du Fu (712–770) were the two most prominent figures in the flourishing of Chinese poetry in the Tang Dynasty that is often called the "Golden Age of China". The expression "Three Wonders" referred to Li Bai’s poetry, Pei Min’s swordplay, and Zhang Xu’s calligraphy.

    Around a thousand poems attributed to him are extant. His poems have been collected into four Tang dynasty poetry anthologies, and thirty-four of his poems are included in the anthology Three Hundred Tang Poems, which was first published in the 18th century. In the same century, translations of his poems began to appear in Europe. The poems were models for celebrating the pleasures of friendship, the depth of nature, solitude, and the joys of drinking wine. Among the most famous are "Waking from Drunkenness on a Spring Day", "The Hard Road to Shu", and "Quiet Night Thought", which still appear in school texts in China. In the West, multi-lingual translations of Li's poems continue to be made. His life has even taken on a legendary aspect, including tales of drunkenness, chivalry, and the well-known fable that Li drowned when he reached from his boat to grasp the moon’s reflection in the river.

    J-SH04

    The J-SH04 was a mobile phone made by Sharp Corporation and released by J-Phone (SoftBank Mobile). It was only available in Japan, and was released in November 2000. It was Japan's first ever phone with a built-in camera (110,000-pixel CMOS) and color display (256-color display). (It has been asserted to be the world's first, but Samsung's SCH-V200 phone equipped with a VGA camera was released in South Korea several months earlier. ) The phone weights 74g, and its dimensions are 127 × 39 × 17 mm. It was succeeded by the J-SH05 flip phone, which was released just one month later.

    The Kyocera VP-210 Visual Phone introduced May 1999, predates both above-mentioned as 'the' First Mobile Camera Phone


    There is an alternative analysis of the history of the mobile camera phone that more tightly defines what a camera phone is and confirms the place of the Sharp SH04 as the world's first mobile camera phone. The Samsung SCH-V200 camera was only half-integrated. It shared the same case and battery but was not integrated with the phone function. It certainly could not convey an image "at a distance" thus not conforming to the tigher definition of a camera phone. The image of the SCH-V200 had to be transferred to a PC. The Sharp SH04 was integrated both mechanically and electronically and could convey the captured image at a distance. It was the point of origin of today's mobile camera phones.
