The Steampunk Anglepoise Webcam

Abby McVay, Dec 11th 2007 Discuss [0]

This webcam is different enough to set it apart from the usual boring types and is affordable enough for anyone to snag. The webcam features driverless installation and can take 1.3 megapixel pictures direct from the cam. It runs at a resolution of up to 640x480 pixels at 30fps. Read The Full Story

The more I read, the more I want one of these, let me share, most tablets require you use a pen or stylus of some sort in order to use the screen as an input device, not this one. You can use your fingers if you want, that single feature alone makes me want one of these now. Read The Full Story

Chris Scott Barr, Oct 31st 2007 Discuss [0]

I've never been a fan of videoconferencing. Then again, I'm not really big on talking on the phone either. I'm perfectly content with using an instant messenger for most forms of communication. That's not to say that I can't appreciate the uses for the technology. Skype and Logitech have teamed up to make the best-looking picture possible when utilizing new Logitech webcams.

It now runs a VIA C7M processor which gives it a whopping 1.2GHz clock speed, VX700 for graphics, and up to 1GB of RAM. You can get your choice of 30 or 60 gigabytes of storage as well.

Asus Eee PC officially official

James Allan Brady, Oct 16th 2007 Discuss [5]

There will be four models, all including some variation of an Intel processor, an SSD drive, and a Linux/Windows XP OS. From top to bottom there is the 8G, 4G, 4G Surf, and the 2G Surf. The first two have a webcam and they all have a 4 cell battery, HD audio, stereo speakers, a microphone, Ethernet, and b/g WiFi. The 8G model is the one that they are really pushing; in case you hadn’t figured it out yet, the number and the G combination represent how much SSD storage each model has, so the 8G model has 8 gigabytes of SSD storage, 1GB of DDR2 and 3.5 hours of battery life.

Microsoft VX-7000 LifeCam 2MP webcam

James Allan Brady, Sep 12th 2007 Discuss [1]

This webcam from Microsoft has a pretty heavy duty camera in it. It will shoot 7.6MP still shots. Video on the other hand is still a respectable two mega pixels. The design of the cam makes it thinner and it should better blend in with your display instead of standing out like a sore thumb. Read The Full Story
