I probably should just leave that alone. But its not in my DNA.
I guess the standards of anything you get for "free" should be lower...that is if in fact it were actually free...I pay for this site directly and indirectly...through donations and dues and through tolerating the advertising on the site -- so every visitor pays something. The CNN and sltrib.com site are "free"...what level of service would you endure there...lowering expectations and standards is not the answer in a situation like this.
I am sorry if once again I pointed out that the site can, at times lag. This is not a "harsh" slight to anyone. It is not a showing of being ungrateful. Do not read into it.
As far as the camera in the phone...its convenience...that's all!...I dare not tell you all the sweet digital cameras I own for fear Dion will call ME out for somehow bragging. That said, it is often way more convenient for me to snap a photo with my iPhone than grab one of my others, shoot it, and then download the photo by connecting the camera or removing the card...all for a simple web shot of my tank to share...although sometimes I do break out the heavy artillery.
There is no whining here. Just pointing out that I am glad there will be a software update soon (thanks jake!) that will address the image size issue easier (the actual topic of this thread) and maybe improve performance as well.
I think not much more can be said on this topic until that time.
