I saw a Nokia presen where they annoucned are already the worlds largest 
digital camera manufacturer.

For a while it was the gameboy camera extension...

Tho all-in-one swiss army knife devices never seem to catch on with the 
mass market, maybe the keitai is unique. Related: the PSX looks like a 
product that aimed to do lots and ended with little in order to ship 
near-time.
