T-Mobile opens WiFi hotspots to Nikon photographers

If you're a Nikon Coolpix customer with a WiFi-enabled digital camera, you'll soon be able to walk by any T-Mobile WiFi hotspot and upload your pictures over the WiFi network to T-Mobile's servers, where you'll receive 50MB of space -- no home or business network needed.

While this is a good concept, limiting users to a T-Mobile server for uploading is an achilles heel -- the freedom to allow a customer to upload or post photos to anywhere on the web is the only allowable feature that would make this work for me -- but YMMV.

The Nikon Coolpix S7c, which is a 7.1 MP model, will come with one year of free T-Mobile Hot Spot service, so I can see why this promotion exists -- how about opening it up to more customers?
