Remember how 5 years ago everyone was talking about laptops and phones converging in to one device to become what we know today as a tablet? Well the same thing is starting to happen in the handheld digital camera world. First (noticeable) move: Samsung Galaxy camera.

They say it’s the last camera you’ll ever need, but we all know they’ll be saying that again in about a year or two at the launch of version two.

It’s a 16MP handheld compact camera that has a 4.8-inch LCD screen on the back. The smart part? It runs Android Jelly Bean and incorporates in to it numerous Smartphone functions except one: the ability to make calls.

It’s got 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, access to the Android app store and voice control like the Galaxy III smartphone. And on the camera side it’s got a 21x zoom, something no other cellphone has.

A decent camera, and almost a decent phone. What’s next?
