I always like a good, consumer-informing post like this, but this seems overly reactive:
5. Wimpy 2 MP camera.
In the world of 5 MP Smartphones and 10 MP point and
shoot cameras that you can buy for under $200, why is the
iPhone still stuck with a measly 2 MP? That’s so 2003.
While we’re at it how come we can’t record video, afraid
the non-existent SD card might fill up? The iPhone should
be able to stream video by now just like many other cell
phones can already do right now.
Let's be fair - and I don't know the specs - but pixel count and linear resolution aren't the same thing. A 2MP camera on the iPhone may be of better quality than the 6MP camera Canon sold you last month.
See my article submission (yes, I'm a karma whore) post for full explanation
