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 800×600, 640×480 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
Ok…this has gone far enough…I shall find this camera and bring it to the people. Check back in early December!

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.”
This camera is available withe expansys. Check its forum for advise.
