Hardware: Nokia says MP3 players, digicams to become obsolete
Nokia says MP3 players, digicams to become obsolete
http://news.inq7.net/infotech/index.php?index=1&story_id=49892
I can't help not reacting to this article. Are they kidding? Mobile Phones will make Digicams Obsolete?
That Nokia EVP obviously doesn't know the advancements in digital photography. And the most obvious hurdle Nokia faces is that if you'll include an mp3 player and a good camera on a mobile phone is its battery requirements. And I don't see any indication of next generation battery solutions coming out in that area that will replace Li-ion/Ni-Mh/Poli Li (Methanol? nah, not for phones).
Well, TI's OMP chips may help out a bit but can it catch up to like the latest Canon EOS, Sigma SD10, Finepix S3 Pro, Nikon D2X, etc. (I'm drooling already)
or at least Sony's November release of it's 10megapixel Carl Zeiss Camera? :)

Web: Just got my Hotmail account upgraded...
Finally, I got my old Hotmail account upgrade to 25MB (It's about time). I think I got this account way back 199x.
I'm mostly a Gmail & YahooMail user, but my hotmail email is now the oldest I got (There was quite a few before hotmail).
I thought I was not going to get an upgrade since I always get my mailbox full in a matter of 1 or 2 days, so a most likely candidate for a paid upgrade (damn those spams!)....But there's a trick. If you're interested post a comment :)
