> as long as there is anything to key onto it's possible to remove the shake algorithmically

Why the requirement? The phone already has accelerometers, doesn't it?

In any case, less hake should still be easier for the phone to deal with. Those algorithms aren't flawless.

There's no way that the accelerators/gyrocscope would be accurate enough to remove the shake. According to google, the iphone gyroscope is accurate to within about 0.5 degrees, roughly two orders of magnitude away from being pixel accurate in a 1x zoom image.
Thanks for providing the numbers!
