First, good to hear from you Mark - I hope all is well! Well I expected the two (instead of three) letter response - I ended up playing around with the code (which is nothing other than using the FileOutputStream to write out the jpeg. I found out that if I replace the println statements (I was checking what was being written out and didn't expect it to cause so much overhead) with Log.i the image can be written in around 95 seconds ( 1 MB). Still slow but not as bad as an hour. Of course still 95 seconds is a bit too much. Anything else I can try? May be an SD card profile / performance test would be help determine if something is going on there?
