I think we're just over complicating what is essentially a really simple rule. It has to be taken by a mobile phone. Meaning, the camera built into the device. So, not clip on cameras with their own optics and sensors, no tablets, nothing.
With the way things are going with smart watches, cameras like the Galaxy camera, these clip on lenses, If we start bending the rules to allow such devices in before we know it the competition wont resemble anything mobile any more.
Also, how could you allow an iPad to enter, when the EXIF data does not say whether it has 3G connectivity or just humble WIFI ?

@NOZ. We always allowed preprocessing like Scenes/White balance/Sepia. All these things are there for you to make a better photo. Doing things to your photo after you pressed the shutter button are not allowed.
Thanks everyone for your reactions. Please continue

For the record, when using a the new Sony accessories to take photos the "Camera" field in the exif will NOT show the smartphone model but the accessory model i.e. DSC-QX10 or DSC-QX100.

Could you not just run a second competition ? one for mobile phones, one for anything - even DSLR cameras ??

That would be a solution but I'm not interested to do it.
Most reactions towards change in the shootout are negative. Thats why I leave it as it was.

DSLR shootout would be nice as long as there are a significant number of photographers around here.
And Hihihans has enough work to do soI think someone else can run this competition.
Just a thought.

DSLR or just any camera? Would be an interesting competition but would it detract from the mobile comp? And is esato the proper venue for such a competition?

I don't think esato is the place for a "any camera shootout".

Well, not really.
But, if enough people want to have it, then we should have it.
Can a poll be made on this question?
So that people could vote for or against any camera competition?
