A filing with the Indonesian Communication Agency (that would be Indonesia's version of the FCC) has outed an application for the Nikon Coolpix S800c digital camera, which is believed to be the company's first foray into Android territory.
According to Nikon Rumors, the S800 will run Android 2.3 and, get this: It will come with Google's Play Store, which means the camera will be capable of running just about any Android app you want to install.
To accomplish this task, Nikon is empowering the S800 with Wi-Fi as well as built-in GPS for geolocation, and the Coolpix shooter will reportedly come with a 25-250mm lens and 3.5-inch OLED screen.
The best news for Nikon fans is that the S800 could arrive as early as August 22, which is a mere two weeks away now.
Nikon is certainly not alone in wanting to bring Android onto point-and-shoot cameras, with rivals Panasonic and Samsung also expressing interest in such an animal. Back in February, Samsung even trademarked the term "Galaxy Camera" -- and we can only think of one thing that might be intended for.
