Pictures at NASCAR

In my daily reading yesterday, I came across an article on Wired.com. It talks about photographer Rick Graves who uses his Treo to help him determine the exact settings for his camera that allow him take to take cool photos of objects moving at high speeds, such as NASCAR:

"Using a dozen formulas he has stored on his Treo, Graves figures the aperture of his telescopic lens, frame width, and motor speed. Then he aims his camera at 4- to 6-inch slice of pavement that the cars will pass over."

Now, I am not the biggest fan of NASCAR, but it got me thinking about what are some other ways people use their Treo to do cool and unique things, like take pictures of cars zipping by at 200 mph. Check out his blog to see more cool pictures and feel free to share the ways you use your Treo...

Now if only Treos could take those kind of pictures itself - that would be really "cool"

Yea, this is a great opportunity to repeat a request that I love to make time and time again. PLEASE add a better camera/camcorder in the next Treo! The iPhone has a 2.0 megapixel camera, now. So, it's time for Palm to beat that. ;) Thank you.

This is a serious request. When on short trips, it would be nice if our Treo's could record well enough to let us leave our cameras at home.

Yeah, thats really interesting. But would you mind to present an answer to the iPhone? That would be very nice for us customers. Some of us still hope you are able to innovate.

I am one of the biggest fan of NASCAR and I love to see more pictures from the race and I'm glad that even handy cam-phone can take this kind pictures in race tracks.

I second the request. The next Treo should include a 3MP camera.

PPPPPPlease do not get rid of the qwerty keyboard ever!!! The iphone's keyboard looks useless for typing anything more than hi.
