Having a full 3G modem in a camera, and a flexible operating system to control it is certainly nice. Having a camera that just uploads everything to Dropbox (or whatever), that's awesome!
However, I have some doubt. One thing is that I think all the regular "smartphone" features here are a distraction. No, I quite certainly do not want to check my e-mail on my camera. I'm all for having a flexible system there, so people can build new innovative image editing software to use right on the camera, and let me install this on the camera, but PLEASE keep in mind that a camera is still a special-purpose device.
The second doubt is, as others here have indicated, that this particular camera might just not be very good.
