New Nokia Phone

I am trying to explain, in fifty words or less, the difference between the electrical and electronic eras. Arrgh. Oh, click on this external link, Nokia is getting closer to building a video phone:

See the little camera lens on the back? Good for 640 by 480 resolution. Grainy but not bad for a mobile. You take pictures and then they are forwarded. This is not real time, interactive video-telephony. More like a phone and digital camera in one. Then, too, you have to be on one of the faster, far more expensive GPRS networks to send your picture. I like the handwheel approach.
