cellphones are largely given away for wireless use if not subsidized or given, then $50-100 each cameras are cheap, and so is development your dog hunts, but only game for extreme highend professionals your dog dont hunt for 99% of the world you may be right, but when? CDMA was supposed to push out GSM by 2001 here we are in 2002, and they are talking about 2004-05 that dog dont hunt either you are enamored of the technology and ignore the sales and consumption numbers Foveon is ultra cool but you seem to misidentify where you are hunting your dog will hunt with the top 1% Foveon will obviously manufacture product to sell at all levels of the economic spectrum let me know when they have a camera under $300 oh yes, and when they give away that required $1000 printer I suspect the loss in silver consumption due to digital imaging will not even keep up with new consumption demands for highspeed conductivity / jim

Sony's Latest Palm Comes Stateside By Arik Hesseldahl Forbes.com Monday April 1, 10:00 am Eastern Time Leave it to Sony to shake things up within the world of Palm operating system-based handheld devices. A long history of designing consumer electronics has taught the Japanese giant a thing or two that others should learn from. Sony's (NYSE:SNE - news) latest Clie device, which debuted in Japan in mid-March, has made its way to the U.S. The PEG-NR70 and NR70V look as if they should be 3G wireless phones, but they aren't. Sony has its hands full designing mobile phones with its partner Ericsson (NasdaqNM:ERICY - news) . But it is the most interesting thing to happen to handheld computers that run the Palm (NasdaqNM:PALM - news) operating system since Handspring 's (NasdaqNM:HAND - news) Treo. The likeness to a phone stems from the foldout clamshell design, typical of many high-end phones in Japan, with a small keyboard suitable for typing with thumbs on the lower half. Longtime Palm users who have become experts in the software's Graffiti handwriting system will at first notice that, in favor of a larger screen, there is no place to write the simplified letters that were such a brilliant innovation of handheld computing in the first place. The writing area has in fact been re-created as a software application that can be launched and closed as desired. The handheld is also an entertainment device, built for carrying and playing MP3 music tunes. It comes with earbud headphones and an inline remote controller. But what will get many excited is the built-in digital camera on the NR70V model that can snap a quick picture that can then be saved for later or stored on a PC. Plus the camera lens rotates 300 degrees. Both units support Sony's Memory Stick format for removable data storage, and both come with a nice collection of software applications. Both will start shipping to retailers in May, the NR70V for $600, the NR70 for about $500.
