Thanks for posting this. I’m assuming that this will be able to be accomplished with the new Nokia 5800 XPress music phone?

Thanks for posting, this is pretty cool. I’m waiting for the day when my cell phone will do my laundry and clean up the apartment once per week. Its getting to the point where it does almost everything else. If you hook this up as a webcam, it could babysit your kids too!
