An interesting and perhaps to be expected plan. But given the totally
broken 2010 plan how much credence to we apply to the 2012 plan? I
agree that getting rid of the low end consumer market (and challenge
from cell phones) is the thing to do. Whether it will be successful is
another story.
ps: My ocean kayaking friend has a waterproof Olympus "Tough" camera,
loves it and takes it with him all the time. Does a pretty good job
too. When I'm kayaking with him I'm always cameraless. Which is the
best camera? The one you have with you. :-)
