Is There an Android-Based Digital Camera in Your Future?
Various sources claim to have inside information that the engineers at Samsung are working on, or considering to work on, an Android-based digital camera. Reportedly, it would include an “open” camera operating system. With Samsung’s familiarity with the Google OS, this is not surprising.
Such a technological advancement could change the digital photography experience dramatically. For example, your future digital camera may include Facebook and Twitter apps, so you could publish your photos directly as well as view photos from your friends. You might even be able to type text on the camera’s touchscreen. A new array of accessories, such as a microphone or 4G-modem, may also be available to connect to the hotshoe or USB port.
