Apparently the mating was successful and we now have a real camera and a phone combo that is truly a combination that many have been waiting for. Samsung has launched the G800 slider, with a five megapixel autofocus camera equipped with flash and zoom!
Oh, I forgot to mention all the other things that go along with a telephone, such as Bluetooth, nice sized display screen and buttons.
Implications - The camera phone is sure to get swept off the shelves as soon as it hits stores. The G800 Slider has a metallic body in silver and is only available in Europe at the moment. If it becomes a success, there is no doubt that other companies will follow in Samsung's footsteps and create their own phones with cameras.
