According to analyst firm InfoTrends /CAP Ventures, the worldwide camera phone market is expected to surpass 860 million units in 2009.

"Camera phone owners are looking for better image quality before they will begin to take more pictures, and they primarily measure image quality by megapixels."

"We believe the development cycle for camera phones has accelerated to answer growing consumer demand, and many handset manufacturers will skip over two megapixel designs in favor of three megapixels. Sophisticated image processing solutions like Nethra—s will resolve camera phone image quality shortcomings such as exposure, focus and image stabilization."
