I just hope to goodness Apple don't get embroiled in a megapixel war with Android manufacturers in the coming years. 8MP is plenty for this calibre of optics. I'd even say 5 was. I'm glad Steve Jobs is a photographer himself and probably knows this.

This is intriguing. It shows that Apple keep an eye on what the jailbreak community are producing and are willing to cherry pick what they feel are the best bits when it suits them. The thing about iOS5 this year is that we have almost no informa…
