Looks like the British are attacking -- with cellphone cameras, that is. Half of all UK-based wireless handsets in use now feature a built-in camera, according to the Mobile Data Association.
What's not clear here is the distinction between MMS-capable handsets and handsets that actually have a camera, as the study, strangely, does not go into this fact. Millions of phones can receive MMS messages (usually camera shots from other handsets), but having half a mobile population with onboard cameras is quite another deal entirely.
