For nextgen sure. But I think most w/be happy with 720p or just something better than 320x240.
Merely the ability to have a video out is nice regardless of resolution. An htc phone has hdmi out and I thought this was pretty slick.
The only 'pleasant' experience I've had with pdas/phones not sucking on speed playing back vids/etc. has been the old HP hx4700 with 624Mhz bulverde cpu....this thing smoked. It's display res was 640x480 and could play ANY vid I threw at it.
Sweet! I've been dying to hook up my gps to my flat screen via 1080p...err wait a minute.
This w/be nice for cell phones though. They need to be designed to integrate into their surroundings (car speaker system, car display, hotel room tv, bt keyboard). Now we're getting closer to laptop replacement as long as cpu is not half-assed.
I've experienced huge issues with an Acer 20" laptop.
From factory on day one it never had a decent webcam (terrible refresh) and A2DP would never ever work. I've setup skype and bt on 100s of other machines with little to no issues.
Acer said only "tech support" they could provide was for me to send anchor (I mean laptop) back to factory for re-imaging.
This is NOT tech support and not a company I feel comfortable dealing with.
What about the forward-facing camera...wasn't this dropped too?
If so...I w/think it inifinitely more useful to have front-facing camera than a rear-one on a brick of this size...w/be quite unwieldy for photo taking me-thinks.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
