what about specs and Android version?

I believe it's running 2.3. As for specs, probably will be low-mid range.

You could almost argue (not having calls and texts aside) that this nikon camera has possibly more smartphone functionality,customization and usability with 2.3 gingerbread than the nokia 808 has as a smartphone with a good camera.

I used belle.. Android is light years ahead of it

Same here and I second that! I've been using Belle for 2months before selling my N8. Belle is functional but lags as hell and it feels like a cheap rip off of Android.

I wonder if Nikon has their on UI

Another avenue for android to expand in and increase its market share in. Its a good idea and no doubt other camera manfactueres will follow suit. We could be seeing a totally new type of android device niche here.

1. Olympus' responses to the rise of cameraphone : whining and launching anti-cameraphone campaign.
2. Nikon's responses to the rise of cameraphone : making an android-powered digicam.

Just to see what you are referring to can you post the link in regards to Olympus?

13. DontHateOnS60 posted on 22 Aug 2012, 11:54

I'd like to see the quality of photos produced here.

15. ReturningToNokia posted on 22 Aug 2012, 17:31

Congratulations, Nikon. You have just guaranteed that I will never purchase any of your cameras.

16. jael206 posted on 22 Aug 2012, 20:18

looks fun, but it running on android doesn't guarantee quality pics.. i'll wait for samples before i'll see myself buying one for christmas!
