40-45 million iPhones in 2010

I don't think Apple plans to sell 40 - 45 million iPhones next year ? this could mean that the Touches will be getting the cameras too and maybe the iPad ?

Wow. I've been thinking of updating to an iPhone 3GS recently...
I know the 3G data network T-Mobile uses won't work with it, but Edge would still work fine, and I'd like a faster processor, more RAM, and more storage space than I currently I have on my 1st Gen iPhone. A 5MP camera would seal the deal, methinks.

Meh... 5MP? Big deal. How big do we need our images to be when they basically suck in all but the best of lighting? I would think that by 2009, we all would have been over the whole megapixel myth. How about creating a phone with better optics?

On the other hand... if it sells more iPhones, then I'm all for it!

I'm not sure what you are saying? Is it.. "Why do we need more MPs when the camera sucketh to begin with"?

For one the optics.

For two, 3.2MP is big enough for a full res 8x10 anyway. 99.999999999999999% of photos never get past 4x6.

Heres what I think - just my opinion

Apple will announce that iPhone is no longer an AT&T exclusive , at the next WWDC

Show stoppers

1 - Intro Verizon top CEO
2 - Intro T-Moble top CEO
3 - Demo the new 5 mega pix camera
4 - Demo the new iTouch camera
5 - Demo and intro the new iPad tablet with camera
6 - Various software updates

7 - Various new forms of the Reality Distortion Field <- Jobs Exclusive laugh

Verizon. LOL! They had an offer for where I work for 10% off their normal fees. Even with 10% off, Verizon was still more expensive than my current AT&T plan.

The 5MP in my Samsung phone takes better pictures than our old 3.2MP sony point and shoot. Yeah, the optics suck but the software is great. Plus it's better to have the extra info to toss away, when you scale down to 3MP from the 5 the picture quality increases.

Samsung has put out some phones with real camera lenses in them, or is soon going to. Real 12mp point and shoot quality cameras.

3.2?
300 DPI on a 8X10 is 7.2 MP.
and even if you print at the bare minimum of 240 DPI then you still need 4.6 MP.

Sure.. you can make a 3.2 8X10.... but it's not going to be very nice.


I agree about the crappy lens. I'll be the first to tell you the iPhone camera is deficient.

I just couldn't figure out this phrase... when they basically suck in all but the best of lighting?
