I cannot agree to that... because in Africa, cellphones are litterally everywhere, even in the most remote villages you'll see that almost every adult owns a cellphone, even the elderly. Of course, some people are still using many older models that don't have a camera, but it's changing really quickly, since lots of relatives who have emigrated to Europe or America have the habit to bring back their used cellphones to Africa each time they get a new one. The last time I've been in Africa with my wife, we had even bought a bunch of brand new "basic" cellphones (Motorola W180 for example), as gifts for her family; we were shocked that many people, among the poorest ones, were very disappointed at these gifts : they already had better phones...
What is more difficult is to get the pictures out of the cellphones... access to a computer is sparse, very few people have access to the internet at home, most go to internet cafes, which are quite cheap, but generally use very old computers, lacking the ability to connect a cellphone or to put a memory card in it.
But believe me, the rate at which we see pictures and videos taken from cellphones in Africa, leaked on the internet, is skyrocketing. Not to mention the "hot webcam" activity that is occuring in many (most) internet cafes.
