New Nikon camera runs on Android

Rumor had it been around a while, but now it's finally available: the Nikon Coolpix S800C. The first camera that completely runs on Android and according to Engadget also one that you definitely need to get if you need a camera. The Coolpix S800C is perhaps flat, but still has the familiar look of a camera. The camera has black and white color patterns.

The camera comes with built-in GPS that allows locating pictures with geotagging. Also, the camera has a 10x optical zoom lens, 16 megapixels BSI CMOS sensor, 3.5-inch WVGA OLED touch screen, a 1080p movie capture mode, and Android 2.3. Thanks to the presence of Android it is possible to all known features of Android to use, such as installing and downloading apps (Instagram?!), Tethering with your mobile and much more.

The camera can also have its own network so that the photos can be downloaded directly via another device that can connect to the network. The camera has 4GB of internal memory, which would be more than enough to fill up the camera with photo-sharing apps and photos. The time now is wait and see how Android on a camera works and what it means for the battery.
