Aptina outs camera sensor that lets phones do professional high-speed and HDR video recording

Sadly... Just like silicon batteries, waterproof cellphones(as standard), and the jump to microUSB 3.0. Just out of reach.

waterproof is becoming standard on HTC's high end, but i doubt it will be available on phones other than the ones that have unibodies because its not possible to seal it...maybe Moto's Razr series will be waterproof?

'waterproof is becoming standard on HTC's high end'.

Can you clarify me about that? As far as I remember, or what I've read, only Sony has created mid-ranger waterproof phone which is the Xperia V. Samsung has the Rugby Pro but its spec is not high and only sold in the US.

One of the main market for HTC is Japan. There waterproof phone is the standard. So, may be she belongs to that region.
