Apple iPhone Becomes Most Popular Camera


It seems inevitable, but it still comes as a surprise: Apples iPhone has become the most popular camera on the planet, or at least on Flikr:

"The iPhone, with its bare-bones, two-megapixel camera, has been battling for the No. 2 spot for months in a tight race with two other Canon cameras and the Nikon D80, according to a graph plotting the overall user percentages of each model on Flickr's Camera Finder."

Camera capability has long been a feature on most cellphones, but it was often a one-way street...there was no easy way to upload the images or move them to a personal computer. With the iPHone it became seamless and near-automatic.
