On the eve of the biggest phone launch in history, The Daily Show tweeted a link to its 2004 takedown of the camera phone. In the segment, called "Digital Watch," Ed Helms balks at the idea of the now ubiquitous combination.

"The camera cell phone," says Helms, "a revolutionary advance in our drive to put multiple things into one thing, is the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of digital technology. It combines the rapid battery depletion of a high powered digital camera, with the image production capability of a phone."

Helms recognizes the popularity of the device, citing an estimate of 80 million people using camera phones worldwide at the time.

Whatever the case, the final line still rings true: "So there you have it," says Helms. "The camera cell phone. Another example of technology's amazing power to improve your quality of life at the expense of everyone else's."
