[Leica] okay, i'm seriously crazy about this camera (and this photo)

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

As usual, it seems that media hyperbole gets in the way of reality.
I don't have an Iphone or any other sort of 'smartphone', but I am 
tempted.  I like the look of the Android handsets too, though please 
don't take this to mean that I want to start a thread about the pros and 
cons of Apple vs Android vs Meego or whatever!
