Pocket PC --- USB Webcam

[randomgeezer]

I don't know tonnes about pocket pc's, but i've heard you can connect a pocket pc directly to a digital camera or even an ipod via usb... so, I was wondering i f it would be possible to connect a usb webcam to my pocket pc?... my pda is a toshiba e755 with Microsoft Pocket PC 2003... the webcam needs drivers too...

This is only possible for USB host pocket pc's like the Toshibas and you'd need a powered USB hub and drivers. There doesn't appear to be any drivers for webcams.

The digital camera and ipod are capable of displaying their internal storage as USB mass storage devices. Menaing you can see and use whats in it separately from the Ipod/ camera functions.

No probs - but I'd really be interested to know if these drivers actually work since they're for WinCE5 not WM5. I can't test them out in any case because I don't yet have a WM5 device.
