Yes, that's a consideration for me. The iPhone 4 is still available in an 8Gb version. Likewise the 4S which has the 8 Mp camera. The iPod Touch is a thought, but I may want to have phone service. Dunno. Some more questions: Any thoughts about the 5 Mp vs. 8 Mp camera? If the phone is going to be used as a camera, how much memory is minimal? Last, any experience with the Google Nexus 4 phone? It's cheap--half the price of an iPhone 5---comes unlocked, and I've read/heard rave reviews except for the camera, which more than one review has panned. I imagine a phone with a camera could be the only device I would need to take. If I took my ist* DS I need something to off-load images to and to get selections of them up on the web. That would probably have to be my notebook. I'm leery of taking it, though it's compact and light weight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] "What does it mean...that the world is so beautiful?" - Mary Oliver -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
