There's just been a 3 megapixel phone-camera introduced in Japan. Ridiculously expensive ($700 or so, IIRC) but you can be sure the prices will come down. One person I know in the camera business says he thinks the reason manufacturers are replacing their 3MP digicams with 4MP-and-up versions is that they are expecting 3MP phone cameras to become commonplace before too long. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
