The better lenses are already here. I've seen prints of stuff from the
D505iS that show what it's capable of, and it's pretty impressive.
(Admittedly these were prints created by the manufacturer, but they did
claim that they were really taken with that camera, so....)
Flash: I'm not sure why we can't do it now. My keitai has a 3.6V 700 mAh
battery; my camera (Casio Exlim) a 3.6V 680 mAh battery. The latter is
slightly smaller and slightly heavier. The camera's good for about 60-70
flash shots; so it seems we've got battery technology good enough for a
flash.
