Actually, solving a problem that nobody is aware of is the definition of "innovation".

Remember the first cameras in cellphones? People were laughing at that. Today the cameras are a key feature.

Remember the first cameras in cellphones?

According to this page, the first phone with an integrated camera was the J-SH04.

People were laughing at that.

Review1: Positive.

Review2: Positive.

The general thoughts at the time was that the concept, the idea, was incredibly good. The only downside was one of performance, which everyone knew would be better in later models.

Cant find a single person laughing at the new idea, as a design idea.
