Intel begint volgende week met de levering van haar nieuwe Pocket PC Camera. Net als de Creative Webcam Go kan deze gebruikt worden om buiten de PC om te fungeren als digitale (video)camera. Het 8MB ingebouwde geheugen is goed voor 128 plaatjes van 640x480 of een zelf geschoten filmpie van maximaal 2 minuten. De prijs zal volgens deze press release $149 dollar bedragen:
The Intel Pocket PC Camera, which begins selling Tuesday, allows consumers to take Internet-ready photos and record short video clips at or away from the personal computer -- even set up a "spy cam'' to take pictures and e-mail them automatically to a given address.
"The great thing about this camera is it's really focused on people who want to share their life's story over the Internet,'' said Dwayne Canfield, product line manager at Intel's Connect Products Division in Hillsboro, Ore. "You can have it hooked up to your computer or you can disconnect the cord and take it with you.''
Digital cameras eliminate the need for silver halide film that has to be chemically processed, instead capturing images on chips with tiny square sensors called pixels.
The $149 battery-operated product comes with 8 megabytes of flash memory, capable of taking 128 pictures or two minutes of video in the highest quality mode, which is 640 by 480 pixels.
