I need really thin camera to have it all the time with me. This is the
reason why made thought was cellphone. I need this camera: to snap some
good ideas, so some time later i can do it with other cam; if i in the
library to "scan" some sites, so i can make my home work at home; if
auto crash to make a picture of it, some times realy important for
insurance.

For really good photos i have my DSLR.

IT should be thin, use SD/MMC cards, working with linux. and really
important, it should have usn mini-B plug. (kodak use some strange
different tips)
