Windows Phone Thoughts: Nikon Digital SLR Camera... With 802.11b!

Here's more fuel on the fire regarding the "competition" between Bluetooth and WiFi. I've been saying all along that they don't really compete; they're designed for different markets. However, Nikon saw fit to throw that opinion to the wind, and has released a camera (a very high-end one, mind you) that can have an optional 802.11b attachment at the bottom, which can upload pictures whenever you want via FTP.



I think this is overkill; for all this effort, you could have integrated a Bluetooth chip into the camera itself, and this thing eats up about 20% of the battery in "normal usage" scenarios. On the other hand, 802.11b's pervasiveness might make it possible one day to walk into a Starbucks and upload your pictures. Choices, choices... ;)
