I honestly do not know where to start looking...what we are looking for is a product that will allow us to take a digital image of something, then mark up the screen, save the picture with the markings, then email them...

an example would be to take a picture of a machine with a problem, then in John Madden like fashion, draw an arrow to the problem area, indicate the problem right on the pic, and email the marked up picture to a contractor...

this device ideally is wireless, but if we need to download to a computer, that would work as well...

thanks

"Traditional" method of snapping pix, downloading to comp., editing on comp., emailing to client not what you have in mind?

I was thinking maybe a Blackberry or other smartphone....but that seems to out of the game.

I'm also thinking for the size of a camera - with that capability - touchscreen...but again, out of play.


How about a laptop with a webcam?
A little bulky, but it is all-in-one :D

my mechanical guy does some work for a property management company, they have the product, but we don't know what it is...one of their reps will take a pic, and mark it up right on the screen, then email it to him...

you use a stylus right on the screen...the iphone app would work, we just don't use iphones...

This answer could be in the thousands verse the hundreds ...

Toughbooks

It might not be exactly what your asking for but, the newer toughbooks computers are now touch screen.

I'm sure the software option can be put in there, mark-up,etc. and like anything else what one might want in a CPU, the costs can just keep adding up!

But the camera is built-in. :D
