Yet will still shoot cellphone-based quality...

interesting, but i would like to see a flash at least if they really want to compete. for my iphone to take 'good' shots, it needs alot of natural light. in low light, it's not that great.

hence, starting a war with my wife that i need a small p&s camera. she doesn't take pics so she really doesn't care. doh!

good for advertising, but it's the same as with cameras, it's not how many pixels, it's how big the chip is..

The graphic above looks way too much like HAL 9000 for my comfort.

PS. Hahahaha! That's funny. Yeah no, that wouldn't kill the battery at all ...

it's LED... just about all the other high end phones have an LED flash.

More megapixels won't help a 3mm plastic lens that much at the end of the day ... it can turn out quite the opposite in fact if the sensor out-resolves the crappy lens then you will see how bad the lens really is

I dunno. I have no complaints about the iPhone 3GS camera/video camera. It does what it's supposed to do—quick and cheap pics and video. If you want real quality, don't be so cheap and go out and get yourself a real camera.

Interesting.. however, whatever graphic designer created that atrocious rendition of the iPhone needs a talking too, the iPhone isn't a microslop product...
