The latest forecast from Future Image Inc. means that 5 out of every 6 digital cameras sold this year would be embedded in phones. The buying spree is expected to continue at least through 2009, when camera-phone sales are expected to rise to 900 million units, or 90 percent of the 1 billion mobile phones projected to be sold that year, the research firm said in a statement.
