Yes, you're correct. The speed in which people are developing new technology is scary. You can now have an unique conversation with a computer. On the other hand isn't it good that people are innovation new technology not only to make them money to to make our life's easier?

the only reason that can be true is because people won't remember how to live without it.

who cares, the important point is that SspnddAccnt is right. Computer Technology is taking over the world and it is actually kind of sad. Maybe not, if you don't worry about the future holds.

It will not work for any camera, actually the camera must have wi-fi capability and be compatible. Mostly, just a wi-fi connection. If you familiar with Computer Networking, what it actually does is transfer the pictures on a wireless network. So virtually, they look as if they fall into the camera. What helps identify the camera is the infrared technology beneath the surface of the touchscreen.

true, almost anything has a touch screen.

but if we wanna go that way, the iphone would then be a small touchscreen register like the ones at applebees.

i'm sure he's joking. but...

from what i can tell, you tap the picture and it shows a list of options and i'm sure delete is on that list. if not, it's still in the works and those things will be addressed.
