Even the most meager of cell phones can take pictures now. It actually takes some work to find a cell phone that can't take a picture. And yet, Pogue hasn't been calling for the death of dedicated cameras the way he has for the death of e-readers. (And he's not alone in that, of course.)

you are right about tha, I mentioned that in my post earlier. He gives the best camera tricks and tips. Had a show on the Science Channel called "It's all Geek to me" Wonderful show.
He's really not all bad but I think Bhartman is right about him. I think pogue feels eink was stop along the tech journey but hasn't advanced to keep up. And in a way he's right. I mean the best tech advancement eink has come out with in the past 5 years is the Pearl Screen and all that is is a better contrast ratio. Animation and color needs to be injected.
He's a Mac and Apple guy from way back, so any product competing against Apple I usually take with a grain of salt.
but anything camera and photography related, he's fantastic.
