Pocket PC SD camera
This is a neat gadget - the SDCam is a camera for Pocket PCs with SD I/O ports. The camera is korean, and the pages are all in Korean, so if someone has a translation of the information posted on the page, I would be very happy to get it :-)
The basic info about the camera is:
It has a CMOS image capture chip (which should make it cheap to produce), and it can take pictures in 800x600, 640x480 and many other lower res modes. It has 2x and 4x digital zoom, video capture with audio, timer and many other neat features. Its on my christmas list already :-) hehe. Available for PocketPC 2000/2002

[UPDATE]
Thanks to Ronald, I found this very interesting SD Camera at Expansys, with support both for Palm and Pocket PC:
Spectec SD Camera for PPC and Palm. Looks like a must have -- putting it on the top of my birthday/santa list ;-) -- Only problem is that its not shipping. I found a posting on one of the Palm sites from August 2002 stating that it would soon ship.
Could someone please let me know how fast/slow soon is?
I would like to ask where or how i could purchase this camera

I personally use the FlyCAM-CF 1.3M to take class notes. It does exactly what I need it to. It isn't good enough for most photographic puposes. It has a flaw in that it is hard to focus. The software doesn' give you any good means of judging on the low-res screen if your high-res image will be in focus. I wrote to both LifeView (hardware provider) and IAstyle (software provider) but neither appear to have read my suggestion that they add a "focus mode."
