hmmm, good i.e.
professional dedicated cameras don't produce n Kb jpegs and they pretty use up their computing and storage capacities for what they do. I don't see
them disappearing, so IMHO it's needless crap stuffing a cheap cam in everything.
(like notebooks and cellphones) the crappy 1/2 VGAres cam in the DSi being a classical example.
it 'd in fact be nice if the ereader makers 'd regain common sense and go on improving
reading-related feats on their devices in hard and software you know, such
useless (yeah it's irony in case u haven't noticed
) stuff like:
- hyphenation
- support of advanced typesetting data of the OTF fontfiles
- complete utf-8 glyph coverage
- whitspace recognition in images (for textflow around illustrations)
- typographically proper border settings
- all the stuff I forgot to mention or have no idea about being no professional typesetter.
instead they waste brainpower on
sudoku and web browsers
*sigh* a wispered and overheard message to all the marketing department guys in all the unnamed gadgeteer companies:
NO your gadget won't become automagically twice as good just because you add a camera, and sudoku to it.
what comes next? shit-paper holders posting the used up lenghts of paper on twitter?
It'd be just far too cool if all of them would concentrate on doing what they have to as main task as good as possible. *sigh*
