Well..we carry around little devices that carry our music that can't compete at all with larger more cumbersome devices. I don't think all ipod users are rubes just because they bought one. We carry around laptops that can't compete with desktop units, are all laptop buyers rubes? Or are they buying and using what works for them at the time they need something done? I've used cameras on phones for years, 99.9% of the time for fun, quick shots, unimportant but plenty good enough to send some silly picture to a friend. I've not been to many weddings, but I don't see professional photogs using phone cameras for the bride. It's all perspective, some of us might have 1000 dollar cameras, to the guy on a 30,000 Red, all those 1000 dollar camera buyers are ignorant rubes.
