Several people where I work have drilled out the lenses of their phones (even some iPhones) in order to bring them to work without getting into trouble. I can't see going to those extremes. I'd rather just be without a phone than to ruin the camera of an expensive smart phone just to comply with work regulations.
Early on I bought a T-Mobile Sidekick because the camera was removable. I was subsequently told by security that I couldn't bring it to work because even though the camera attachment was sitting in a drawer at my house, the phone was "camera ready". The logic of that argument escaped me then, and it escapes me now. My backside is also camera ready should I ever decide to ram a camera up there and start taking pictures. Should I leave that home as well?
But enough of my ranting. The rest of you, please excuse this short off-topic excursion. We now return you to the new Retina Mini vs the iPad Air discussion.
My new Air is scheduled to arrive Tuesday, not Monday as I erroneously claimed elsewhere. I think I'm going to love it.
