Joi Ito on his new cameraphone, Sony Ericsson’s SO505i, which is only for the Japanese market (of course):
The 1.3 Megapixel camera works and feels like a real digital camera. The screen faces out so that you can use it like a camera without opening the phone. The bad news. Emailing the 1280 x 960 images is impossible because of the size and because they phone doesn’t let you even try making this silly mistake. It uses a new, yes a NEW memory stick format called Memory Stick Duo. I can’t find it in stock anywhere and I need a NEW adapter for my Mac. Ugh.
This phone is causing a considerable amount of envy here in the US, where cameraphones typically max out at about 0.3 megapixels.
