mobiles and street photography

LG unveils the 5 megapixel LG KG920 cameraphone, which also features a 4x digital zoom and 180 degree twist design. Is this a good phone/camera I don't know. But camera features on mobile phones seem to be getting better and better. and that seems to be having consequences on Paparrazzi. I watched a program on the TV last night on how the general public is getting in on the possibilities of photographing celebrities and getting paid for doing so. everyone is becoming street photographers. I wonder what the consequences will be for photography? Will more people become involved or is this just a superficial point and shoot phenomenon.
