Obviously there is a bit of PR spin here, but I wouldn't say "Canon is washing their hands of the topic at least until they make the jump to the next EOS-1D product iteration". The release does say in the end, "We will continue to investigate, and look for opportunities to improve, the performance of the AF system to ensure the satisfaction of all of our customers". Now, I wouldn't call that a solid gold promise, but it does hint that this isn't the end of it all. As an existing 1DM3 owner I can't comment specifically about the AF issue as I haven't experienced it yet - though that's not surprising since I do most of my shooting in One Shot mode, rather than AI Servo. It's just too bad Canon got themselves into this mess in the first place since they should have known how high the expectations would have been for a pro body.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
