It certainly looks like it might be a reality soon. Sony announced today a 12MP CMOS sensor for mobile phones. This is pretty interesting news to me, as I have long been awaiting the day when the phone (and we really need to think of a new name for it) will soon be your "everything" device. We're already seeing GPS functionality on most new phones, allowing you to get directions, find friends, geotag photos, etc. And with current flash memory capabilities you can store a good chunk of your music and listen to it on the same device. Now, with the ability to actually take some decent hi-res photos...what's left? Well, power is the obvious issue. Micro fuel cells? We'll have to wait and see.
Note: It was time for a new look for my blog, I hope you like it.
