Not a good idea.

I like Glenn Reynolds, raally I do, but lately he just keeps making boneheaded statements. Like:

But the camera that fits in your shirt pocket is a camera that you'll take with you, and a camera that you'll take with you gets more pictures than one that sits in a drawer.

It's also the camera you're a lot more likely to lose out of that shirt pocket. Ask my wife, whose Moto Razr just took a trip out of her shirt pocket halfway down the toilet. Halfway because the flapper had just shut and the toilet was refilling, or we'd have been out in the yard trying to fish it out of the sewer cleanout.

Plus, folks like me with stiff hands don't like small digital toys. They're too damn hard to hold onto. I tried small digital cameras, that's why I went back to my Olympus OM-1 film SLR for a while until I bought the Nikon D70 digital SLR. Which I carry almost everywhere, FWIW.

And as for tiny phones -- Sally's not the only one in this family with a Motorola Razr. I traded my comparatively-bulbous LG phone in for one at the same time she did, back in March or so. I can already tell you that in March 2008 the Razr is going away for something with more heft. The longer I have it the less I like it, and not just because Verizon lobotomizes their phone firmware.
