(SR5) APP support coming! The new NEX cameras are almost like iPhones :)
The NEX-F3 flipping LCD will come with the NEX-5R.
This may be a bigger news than you think. The new NEX-5R and NEX-6 camera will have a “full Internet support”. Not only you can surf the we with it…It means you can sell Apps for the cameras! Imagine this! Custom APP with customized filters and features. If Sony really makes this than WOW! Don’t you think?
Loading ...One more bit of rumor: And the new 5R will look like the 5N (Click here) with NEX-F3 LCD
Oh one more thing, guess what’s the most Sony camera of the moment…click here to see the Amazon US OVERALL ranking….amazing

You could keep an amazing trip log with hi-res pics and download / backup everything as soon as you could be a net connection.
So many possibilities, just way cool

“The trial period of your battery has ended. Do you want to upgrade to premium? It costs only USD 19.99″
“Your memory card has only 2 images left. Do you want to order a new one?”
“I found a trojan in AWEWQETF<ADS3AQ43QTTR ………"

Sony is not good at making firmware. On my Xperia Arc S, the 2.3 release works well, but the ICS update is somewhat rotten, with lags. I’m really curious to see how Sony and Nikon deal with that on Android. A camera must be responsive, and Android is far from that. It’s a great multipurpose OS, but not a real time OS.

All it takes is Apple or a 3rd party to make an APS-C “digital back” for an iPhone and it’s game over. Stick to making photography equipment, not multi-disciplinary devices in an arena that they loose every time. At most, the concept could only be a short lived disposable technology showcase that would be quickly superseded by someone else’s product after they capitalize on the market newly defined.
