WP7 Minimum Specs Changed ?

It seems WP7 minimum specs changed recently.

Windows Phone Hardware Requirements Changed- Camera No Longer Required - Mobility Digest

(FF Camera, Rear Camera, Compass, and Gyro are now optional it seems)

Can't see too many phones in this day and age without a camera.

What do you think ?

To me this is a precursor to them entering the Enterprise in a more serious way. Many corporations do not allow cameras of any kind on their phones for security purposes.

Maybe dtboos, and you're right, I have a couple of friends who work for an aerospace company and their phones must not have cameras.

I agree with boos. Its a little surprising that WP7 isn't already an enterprise friendly phone. Especially with the WinMo ancestry.

I have a friend that is in that situation. It's a warehouse, it's not like there are some trade secrets he's going to steal off a sealed box. His phone can't have a camera.

Same here. I work for a bank firm and we can't have cameras. From what I have read though MS really doesn't do a stellar job at email security. Lack of encryption or something like that. Why would they pull a camera to entice businesses but still over no email security?

Are you talking about the exchange servers? I did not know they were any more unsecure than any other email servers?

Going forward I'm sure Microsoft will be adding enterprise-friendly features like full device encryption, etc to updates
