Camera Phones Catching Up To DVD Players As Fastest Growing Gadget
It looks like the DVD may have only had a few years in the sunshine as the "fastest growing consumer technology device". Camera phones are growing at a pace that will surpass DVD players. While some stodgy businesses are trying to block them out, this is looking more and more like a tidal wave that isn't going to get stopped. There's also a wonderful quote from someone in response to those who complain the cameras in camera phones aren't good enough: "the best camera is the one you always have with you." That appears to be the feeling of many consumers.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
