Nikon announced a android based p&s

... A camera that not only fits in the pocket, but also, whilst on the go, enables you to check in and cruise the forums here at RFF and, after getting that great shot, makes it possible to edit your best shots AND upload directly to your RFF gallery. I'm tellin' ya guys, if this thing had a coffee cup attached to one end, it'd be an all-time RFF champ.

Suddenly, I think the wifey needs a new camera. Ya know, just for her ... to keep in her purse ... while we're out. *rubbing-hands-together-with-devilish-grin* :angel:

Speaking as a photographer and developer, for me it would depend on the internal APIs and drivers available to control the camera (pre-shot, not the resulting image). Then, it might be interesting.

Anything that breaks away from the crap operating clumsiness of all digital cameras (except Leica's) with an open OS/app API is A Good Thing. I like where this concept will go.
