[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1018477"] He means "this is what I and perhaps a couple of people I know want." Huge market. I've actually DONE market studies. For a living. People who say they know what (name of big company) should do to REALLY sell (stuff) are doing what psych professors call "projecting." It's fine to have a theory, but nobody is going to take you seriously until you can produce some evidence that your personal fantasy is shared by a sizable market that's ready to buy. And you won't until someone comes up with one that a) doesn't kill the battery and b) actually complements the picture being taken rather than just blowing out the whiter end of the spectrum on the photo. It helps to keep in mind that, as cameras go, phone cameras (all of them) are pretty crappy. I can certainly understand the desire to have a good camera built into your phone -- one less thing to carry around -- but the truth of the matter is that physics, not incompetence, is what's keeping phones from being good cameras. The limitations of size, weight, ecomonics and mechanics prevent it being possible to get a really decent camera into a cell phone. Sure, there are some out there that have more pixels than the iPhone one, and take marginally better pictures -- but you can ALWAYS spot a cameraphone pic compared to a proper-camera pic. Pick up one of your point and shoot cameras sometime and compare it to the weight, thickness and build of your cell phone. Yeah, that's the problem right there. [/QUOTE]
