Cameraphone resolutions growing

Just a quick observation. First, obviously, just having more megapixels does not a good camera make, so please all readers, lets not get into that debate. But there is certainly the chance for better pictures as they squeeze more pixels onto the image. And I've done a survey of the new phone models in the UK each year near Christmas time, and in 2006, the most common camera type on new cameraphones had a resolution of 1 megapixel with about three out of ten new cameraphones having that type of camera. In 2007, the most common camera resolution was 2 megapixel, and in 2008, yes, the most common camera resolution in new cameraphones in Britain, was 3 megapixel. Each year roughly 3 out of 10 new cameraphones were of the most common resulution. So if this holds, probably next year around Christmas time, the most common cameraphone resolution will be 5 megapixel.
