web applications - Options for making _web_ apps using smartphone and ipad cameras -


i considering if possible web app (not native app or phone gap app, javascript/html5 app running in smartphone/tablet browser):

  1. user takes picture
  2. user shares picture on server comment.

as far know, web app has no access device's camera or camera roll, options ?

my best idea have mail service, users can send photo mail, questions are:

1) right in asumptions? 2) better ideas mail service? 3) if decided go native way, possible make phonegap app access camera , photos?

yes, can create web application has access device's camera roll. there catch, though. while photo uploading works android, not work on stock ios safari browser. users have download browser able upload images (i believe icab browser allows uploading). deal-breaker depending on users be. if you're building public, can't tell them use different browser. if you're building internal apps, away it.

here's example of such app, seems you're trying accomplish: http://www.crazybikes.com/mrcjava/servlet/cbb2e.m07050s

one thing note: example application appears different depending on device used access it. in other words, if visit app on pc, pc app. but, if visit smartphone, smartphone app. full experience, i'd suggest visiting smartphone.
