Realeyes3D, a developer of mobile imaging applications for camera phone users, today announced that its handwritten messaging applications have been shipped in more than 30 million camera phones worldwide, including handsets by its OEM customers Samsung and Sanyo.

Handwritten messaging applications allow camera phone users to send messages that they create in their own handwriting, using a standard pen and any type of paper.

A complement to text messaging, handwritten messaging offers a newer, richer and more personal form of traditional messaging. Realeyes3D’s handwritten messaging applications Digitizer™ and w-Postcard™ enable users to create highly personalized messages that go beyond simple text to include handwritten diagrams, maps, drawings, photos or images.

According to a recent Strategy Analytics study, the installed base of camera phones will exceed one billion by the end of the year. The same report forecasts that by 2011, one third of the world population – or just over 2 billion people – will own a camera phone.

Based on this study, Realeyes3D estimates that thirteen percent of all camera phones shipped in the U.S. have Realeyes3D handwritten messaging applications pre-installed.
