No, doesn't seem like it, IR generates B/W images my phone in "night shot" mode still gives some kind of colour. Not that i'm willing to attempt to take apart the extremely miniaturized and well welded camera housing of my Nokia 5140 cellphone. But from the behaviour it seems more like it is just emulating longer exposure time then the camera is really capable of by taking two (or more?)images at maximum exposure, adding them together and then do something similar to Photoshop's "Auto contrast" filter.

In fact it does at least mine, but its quite crappy (besides IR is a bitch to block perfectly, haven't seen a single filter that is able to kill to 100% of it, so you will see a remote even though your camera has one). On my QuickCam express it is located behind the rearmost lens i.e. the one located closest to the sensor (which it glued to the housing) so you have to (carefully) pry that one loose (i used a really small screwdriver and an awl), then remove the little clear square of glass behind it (looking just as in the pictures(!)), and wollá! You have even better reception of IR (err considering the quality of the CMOS sensor i guess i should say "less bad").
I must agree, anyone remember how the old thos 8-bit Nintendo controls felt? Imagine that with a slight momentum backword momentum *suhdder*. Why culdn't they have relased a lit GBA insted? Oh well i wont complain (for real) untill i have tryed it out.
Why is Apple releasing a tablet so great if the idea of a tablet is so dull? Is this just MS bashing in disguise - "it is competing with Microsoft so it must be good". Constantly comparing yourself to the competition is a great way to give them credibility.
If for no other reason, because Mac-users have a much lager tendency of getting obsessed with there computers. Most PC users can say "my computer is MUCH faster then yours" and think thats an argument, but no, a (true) Mac-user can hug his 5 years old Performa and say "yes but i love this machine" and truly mean it.
There are rumors about Steve Jobs adding some of his blood to the Silicon and casting dark spells over the CPU:s to enchant users using a Mac long enough (which is also claimed to be the main reason why Apple don't want to switch to Intel), but no one have yet survived to confirm this.//Zinob/*I'm a Mac user and I'm proud!
