Tried to read a recent post there, but stopped after the statement “Nikon just recently said it plans to launch its own smartphones”. That looked like big news, so I looked it up. Turned out, Nikon's president said something along the lines of “We want to create a product that will change the concept of cameras. It could be a non-camera consumer product” early July—that is the most reliable citation on the matter I could find. So it was author's speculation, which he presented as fact on his blog. Maybe there is some useful information there, but the hassle of verifying each statement wasn't worth it for me.
