This will not be another smart phone, but rather a Cybershot camera that will allow instant upload of images online via an integrated 3G connection."</em></p><p><img height="339" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//dht/auto/1299873871.usr15670.png" width="498" /></p><p>I have mentioned that I would like to see a <a href="http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/f307/things-i-want-see-2011-a-101882.html" target="_blank">connected camera in 2011</a>, and Sony (unfortunately in my case) might just be the first to the market with one. I am wondering how well it will sell once it comes out: Will it be taken hostage by tyrannical North American carriers, just like every other device that sports a cellular radio? I hope not, because this is an area where cameras can stand to innovate, and having a non-traditional obstacle is not going to help things.</p>
