Infectious Greed jeers at Kodak's comments that camera phones have deficiencies as "akin to a buggy whip maker saying cars are crap." IG commenter David Bennet waxes even more sarcastic:

Considering the technology for using phone cameras to do things like read bar codes then use blue tooth or some other protocal to communicate with a local computer is already being done in high tech nations (eg. Japan and especially Korea) that people do things like send pictures of things that they are thinking of buying to their spouse, that one can sketch something out and send it in a phone conversation, that a field worker can send a photo of a job to a supervisor or expert...

I mean why would a a billion + people want the capacity to generate want the capacity to generate picture with their primary comunication device?
