I agree when I'm somewhere and see something that I want a photo of I'll want a good quality photo. When phones can take 10M-12M pixel images with, say, a zoom equivalent to a 35mm camera's 20mm-200mm, then we'll have something. Make that a macro lense as well, will ya. (Oh yeah... it's also gotta be light enough and small enough to fit in my pocket when I'm out on my bike or out on a run.)
OK, I know you're asking for the moon on a stick here to make a point
Do you really want 10-12 Mpix on a phone-sized sensor? At that pixel density the signal/noise is lousy, and the noise reduction will destroy the detail anyway (assuming the lens is good enough for there to be any point in all of those pixels in the first place). A phone-sized sensor would give better pictures with fewer pixels plus a better lens and jpeg engine, but that isn't as easy to turn into a marketing soundbite.
