Mobiles To Replace Digital Cameras

It was back then in 2002 when the first mobile phones with cameras gradually became a “must have” feature.
In those days those mobile phones began a new era, the era of the MMS.
soon after the mobile phone equipped with a camera transformed the digital photography for ever. Since then, the MMS did not succeed in most markets, mobile services professionals learned about the spontaneous behavior of mobile photography users (as they shoot for fun pictures that are usually are not meant to be printed), and that the mobile phone with their physical attributes cannot replace digital cameras in terms of quality even in cases where they are equipped with good optics from Leica or Carl Zeiss.
2009 now draws as the year that mobile phones aim (again) to officially replace digital cameras (Not all of them, of course).

The  new Samsung i8910 or the Omnia HD equipped with: 8 megapixel auto focus camera with LED flash, geo-tagging, Face detection, Smile Shot, Blink  Shot, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and HD video recording at 24 fps is one of these devices that aims to do so.


But Samsung is not the only one, there are  the Nokia N86 , Sony Ericsson W995 and the soon to come Sony Ericsson Idou with 12 megapixel camera.
Moreover the mobile phone will flourish where the digital camera failed at Geo-Tagging and in connected enviorinment and photos based contextual awareness.

True iPhone Killers

From June 29, 2007 when the first iPhone went on sale until those days the iPhone did not  have the honor to  fight against an appropriate rival.
The amazing multi-touch screen, the full web browsing experience, the slick and intuitive UI and the apps ecosystem all those did not get a comprehensive answer from the manufacturers.
But now it seems that the manufacturers succeeded in fully understanding the success of the iPhone and to create true competitors to the iPhone.
The Nokia N79, Samsung Omnia HD, HTC Diamond2 and the Palm Pre that will probably hit the market on march this year.

Mobile OS War

Now after the missing piece of the puzzle is revealed, and the WinMo 6.5 was ofically announced, the mobile OS war have began.
Microsoft, Nokia and Google are fighting to power more and more devices, and Apple, RIM, and Palm that are trying to create the best OS using thier own devices.
All of them aim at the devlopers, they all offer them a great way to sell their apps and to create apps ecosystem just like apple did.
The day we will choose our mobile device by OS is not far, HTC and other manufacturers are all playing the game.
A game that will do good  to devlopers and to consumers as well.
