SONY HAS RELEASED the world's first dedicated camera with built in web uploading capabilities. The Cybershot G3 has built in Wifi which allows users to directly upload shots to the likes of Facebook and other picture sites.
The camera incudes free access to AT&T hotspots for our colonial cousins across the pond but there's no news on whether the $500 dapper snapper will make it to Blighty.

...Must be the time it takes me to type ". Peon." Ta!
Sony was not the first. I believe it was 2004 or maybe 2005. Kodak released the EasyShare One that had wifi uploading capabilities. Granted it wasn't built in to the camera, you had to use the second SD wifi card slot.
This stuff has been around a couple of years in professional photography, were, say, a photographer snaps the soccer game and the pictures are uploaded to the newspaper in realtime.
Now when the cops ask for your camera for taking pictures of a landmark, they can't delete them. Hurray!
actually its not the first, there are already other models out there with wifi. The problem with the one i read about is that it doesnt have a browser. It can only upload to the company that made it, and of course the big problem, it wont connect to encrypted routers. Once it becomes popular i wouldn't doubt that a firmware patch with fix that problem.
Cmon, we all KNOW it's going to happen.
Forget holes in the walls ladies, you better be checking for optical fibres in the bowl before you sit.
Then there'll be calls to ban them, the media will cause a frenzy, laws will be passed requiring weird things like no encryption on video broadcasting devices or a gps that phones home or something.
At least it'll all be recorded for posterity.
