"A chef bitten by a deadly spider in his pub kitchen was saved after experts were able to identify the creature from a picture on his mobile phone. Matthew Stevens was attacked by the Brazilian Wandering Spider which was hidden in a box of bananas delivered to the Quantock Gateway pub in Bridgwater. Thinking quickly despite the shock, he managed to snap a picture, which he later showed to doctors. Experts at Bristol Zoo were able to identify it and suggest an antidote."

My reaction would have been more along the lines of squishing first, and picture taking second. I guess the true hero in all this is Matthews employer, who obviously has no policy against camera phones in the workplace.

If my company ever implements a no-camerphone policy and I am stopped from carrying my Smartphone in. Then I will position my cameraphone as a medical safety device and in case the security is not convinced. I will present this story.

In my unprofessional day job-related opinion, I endorse. The geek within me just seems to be too powerful.

If the picture had been taken with the MPx220, the poor fellow would have perished. I doubt the bananas could have been identified in such a picture!
