mobileguerilla.com — Lots of questions were answered with the introduction of the iPhone back in January, but an important one still remains: how do the photos look like? I've been searching for "taken with an apple iphone" on Google for well over a month now and I guess it was worth it.

QUOTEFirst of all, you can't hack a camera ROM, because it's, uh, ROM./QUOTEDude, step out of the 80s for a sec... very small amounts of ROMS now a days are really just ROMS... most of them are, you know, EEPROMS, etc. etc. etc. (wiki it yourself) --- Companies, especially a cell phone company, would be foolish to have pure ROMs now-a-days, simply because firmware updates, FIX human errors - simple enough? Now, hacking a ROM, as it's said, it really downloading an EEPROM (or pick and choose your flavor, see above), modifying it, and re burning it. So, yeah, hacking ROMs is possible, even IF it's really a READ ONLY MEMORY, it can be done, has been done quite a bit, and will continue to be done for quite some time (yes, Microsoft, yours too) - and like you say, you can easily replace the rom with your own EEPROM (or variance).

That dude needs to get a haircut.

@klawzI think flash memory is more common than EEPROM, especially in consumer electronics. The concept is still, however, the same; you flash the ROM with an update, and voila.

That's not a dude.

That's not true. Most camera phones would have trouble, but not most cameras. It's a reality check that the iPhone is still a phone, not some piece of heaven that fell to earth. Camera phones are for quick snaps, not Pullitzer prize winners.

I wonder if it will have the same effects that "Photo Booth" has. That would be amazing :)
