I have the original iPhone purchased after the price dropped. It's a
crummy little camera, 2 mega pixels only, that works best in bright
light. There's no flash. The colors seem to be accurate and
distortion free. The iPhone allows one to use a photo as wallpaper,
email it or assign it to a contact. I have it with me at all times,
but rarely use it. The photo of Dan Flavin's art work that I
submitted to last weeks gallery was taken with it, but I did some
manipulations in PS before sending it (principally straightening it).
If I get around to it, I'll submit another and you can judge for
yourselves (making allowances for the lack of skill of the
photographer!).

Yes, indeed... what a great idea! While I don't own an iPhone, I
will use this service.
You see this and you wonder - why didn't I think of this... so simple.
Thanks for the link.

attending and I
thought the card I received was so neat. This feature made me want an
iPhone, but alas, I do not see one in my future.
Here is a link to the site that creates the postcards and mails them.

They are gong to add the feature so that you can eventually work
from your
computer. I am going to use the service as soon as it is online.

I'd like to ask members for their opinions on the qualities or
otherwise of the camera within the iPhone. What is it best for, what
are subjects less likely to give good results - by good I mean the
result should at least look OK on a computer screen.
