Now they are going into the opposite direction because of the overabundance of multitasking capabilities.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-68740298873014461462015-01-06T12:40:09.497-06:002015-01-06T12:40:09.497-06:00Aren't we getting too much into developing dev...Aren't we getting too much into developing devices that can do it all?

However, wouldn't a further development of a camera like the Leica T to include smartphone capabilities make more sense? The camera has a touch screen already, as well as a microphone and speaker. The addition of smartphone electronics and software would in no way lessen the superior performance of the camera, including interchangeable lenses, but would also offer smartphone capabilities without the need of carrying a separate device.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-49129720873751822552015-01-06T12:28:56.766-06:002015-01-06T12:28:56.766-06:00This reminds me of an article on this blog where E...This reminds me of an article on this blog where Ernst Leitz participated in the demonstration of a working telephone several years before Alexander Graham Bell. The question was if there might have been a Leitel (Leitz Telephone). The introduction of this Panasonic phone and the close relationship between Panasonic and Leica seems to have brought us a lot closer to that possibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
