Prduct Boundaries Blurring- revisited

In the last post I delibareted about netbooks, smart phones and may be ebook readers blurring. I had not considered the digital camera mainly because of the miserable resolution offered by the phones. But, looks likke even this product might get subsumed into this one hypothetical product that we'll be carrying around some time in the future.

Though the resolution uis still low, thwe new iPhone 3G S brings ibn a innovation in cameras that indicate, if only resolution reaches 7 to 8 MP levels, a smart phone might include good camera too.The biggest innovation is a macro focus mode in the camera of the latest iPhone. I do not know yet how good this is is but macro used to be offered only with bulky optical lenses only. And that used to be one problem in integrating a good camera into a phone. If such innovations are coming it may not be far when we could get a good camera in the phone.

The autofocus camera in the iPhone can adjust for color, light etc besides focusing. The focus can be changed by tapping and so on. The camer takes good video that an be dowbnloaded easily too. The time may not be far when I carry a device that is a phone of course but also can let me do productive work that I can do on a laptop, carry my entire book library ( beside the musiclibrary it can do already!) and let me read them anytime and let me take pictures and videos and edit them. Becaus of the high speed network access downloading a book, uploading video, doing my work and staying touch with other via the video conference is not going to be a problem at all! Is that where all this is heading. Let's watch and see!
