Wow…I have been absent for two months, but it seems a full twenty years by blog standards.  So I am descending from the mountain, joints weary and rusty firearm over my shoulder.  I hope you recognize me, fellow villagers of this Blogosphere.

 

 I was going to write an in-depth review about the CTIA convention, but more than adequate coverage has been provided of the products and events.  Out of this convention, however, I noticed one major feature on mobile phones that is an emerging trend: high mega-pixel cameras.

 

What intrigues me most is the reality of your phone and digital camera now becoming one device.  To date cameras on phones are used to catch embarrassing moments or quick snap shots, but with the introduction of 3MP, 5MP or even 7.1MP cameras…your phone now can take the family vacation or holiday pictures as well.  

 

If you are interested check out some of the new Sony Ericsson CyberShot phones or my personal favorite the LG Viewty.  Drop a line about your thoughts on this topic or others regarding mobile phones.

 

Now if you will excuse me I need to go trim my beard.

With these higher resolution camera phones, will we be seeing some way to easily get the pictured printed out at our local Wal*Mart?

 

I have the LG VX9900 EnV (and love it to death!). The 2 MP Camera is about as good as I need, but getting actual prints is a pain.  I have to remember to bring in my microSD-to-SD card adapter as the machines won't accept the plain microSD card and the lab doesn't seem to have one I can use.  Since I'm on Verizon, the Kodak Picture Maker won't accept OBEX via Bluetooth (which is awesome on my PC, by the way).  It doesn't do me much good to have an awesome camera on my phone if I can't get easily prints from the pictures I take.
