Will it be as sharp as the sharpest photographs? Does it have to be? Given that we're talking about mobile, "contact me anywhere, anytime" devices I think a better question is...."Do we WANT it to be?" :-)

Dwight, the sharpness of the image depends on the intended use. If just for display on a monitor, well the current technology and relatively slow transmission rate is sufficient. While some people don't need anything more than that, I would certainly not want to limit the resolution of the image simply to keep transmission time down to a few seconds. Again, the Kodak solution here apparently contemplates limited flash memory card capacity and the facility to transmit an image stord on the flash card to a remote site. This is typical Kodak: They never place much priority on highest image quality for general consumer use. It's a kind of mentality that explains quite well why the company and its stock have foundered in recent years.
