Nokia Corners the Market on Megapixels

WORLD RUNNING OUT OF MEGAPIXELS!

NOKIA BUYS WORLD SUPPLY!!!

Ok, actually, they just released a phone (phone!!) with a 41MP sensor.

Yes, that's 41 mega pixels.

All your megapixels are belong to Nokia

The true heir to the previous best-camera-phone-on-the-market Nokia N8, this new Nokia N808 is sporting Symbian Belle as an OS (a decent but a little dated OS), a bit of a chunky exterior, an ok screen and 2nd tier but still decent internals.

But the real story of course is the camera. Seriously Nokia, wow, 41MP???? What the hell do you do with that? Already with my 12MP dSLR the only real benefit over my old 6MP dSLR is that you can crop the hell out of the image without loosing resolution. With 41MP, I am not sure what you do, crop a postage stamp picture out of a poster size print?

Regardless, I am damn impressed.

A good driver means you know how to drive, not that you have gotten lucky or simply average for the past 10 years. Personally, I would love to see a class in high school devoted to driving. I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
