LinuxDevices - New Linux cameraphone supports Wi-Fi via SDIO

LinuxDevices - New Linux cameraphone supports Wi-Fi via SDIO:
"A Chinese appliance company best-known in the US for its air conditioners has demonstrated a Linux cameraphone at a wireless tradeshow in New Orleans this week. The Haier N60 features a 1.3 megapixel camera, an SDIO expansion slot, and built-in MP3 and MPEG4 players."

Linux phones are going to most likely be the dominant player in the long run. Microsoft has had too many revisions with it's software and they aren't playing their cards right with the software compatibility issues either. In other words I find it hard to believe a Windows Mobile Powered phone will let me use any file format I want to use on it as if it were almost a computer itself. A phone with a color screen too me says it should handle most modern file formats. For starters how about Divx, MPEG4, and PDF.
