Re: Camera phones. I wouldn't want one with a resolution less than 1.3 mp. However, it would be useful to have a handset with a slot for, say, an SD or miniSD, and then a camera using one of those cards. You could insert the camera card in the handset and send a higher resolution image. At one point, Kodak was working on a camera that would take digital photos and then transmit the images to a server. I don't know if they are reviving that idea, but it's got a lot of possibilities, particularly because some of the data optimized systems now available (Verizon in Washington, DC and San Diego) would allow transmission of a fairly large image file in a short time. So the answer may well be a camera with a cell phone modem, not a camera phone at all. But then, many people are satisfied with lower quality images and might prefer the combination camera and phone.
