MinceyFresh, How much would you be prepared to pay for a camera phone with a CMOS sensor from a dSLR and with the optics to support it? And keep in mind that CMOS is only good when the sensor is very large. When you go down to the sizes used in P&S cameras and camera phones then picture quality suffers tremendously and high quality noise reduction software is required to cope with the large amount of noise.
Haha, I know, I was just being a smartass... :D Yeah, I know that the CMOS is only good when it's large (which is why I quipped that it should share the *same* CMOS as the DSLR next to it)...
I'm pretty sure that if someone did decide to try putting something such as an APS-C sensor into a mobile phone, they'd probably have to radically redesign the shape of the phone and position of the camera beyond any sort of practicality.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

I've seen crazier things, though, so who knows...
