Default SD Camera and other neat looking things

http://www.hv.co.kr/hardware/sol-sdcam.asp

Another interesting piece of hardware that I know almost nothing about because the page is in Korean..



There are a few facts that are interesting from the English words on that page:
� SDIO required (Sorry iPAQ 3800 users - unless HP releases a ROM update that fixes this - is that even possible?)
� Still image capture sizes - 800x600 , 640x480 ,400*300 , 200*150,352*288,176*144,90*60
� Digital Zoom - 2X and 4X (hint - never ever use digital zoom - always use a graphics package to blow an image up)
� Video Capture: YUV 4:2:2 (makes it the first video capture camera for a PDA doesn't it?)
� Driver support: PocketPC 2000/2002

No word on pricing or availability unless it is in the Korean sections of the page. Thanks to Thomas Scheen for the link. Also at that site is something called the i-kit Multi which is another iPAQ CDMA sleeve, and the CF CDMA card. Anyone willing to translate these pages? I wonder if this stuff is real or concepts, or great things that will never hit the shores of North America or Europe.

I want one, any idea if they will ship to the US? I looked at the link and it looks as if they are related to Handango but as a Korean site so maybe Handango over here in the states can "swing it" if you call them?! I have the TMobile PPCPE and this is what I have been wating for- that plus a thumb keyboard... any day now... come on...

I don't think the XDA/T-Mobile PPC Phone supports SDIO, just like the 3800 iPAQs. Can anyone confirm/deny?

But the Casio CF camera did video, that was my main use of it.

The XDA from T-Mobile is confirmed NOT to support SDIO. I believe this was covered in the review from Tekguru.

All I can say is WOW!! Did you guys see the specs on the i-Kit Multi? Dual Band CDMA, CF slot AND 1500mAh Battery! This is the Ultimate expansion sleeve for me. Now if they ever see the light of day in the US I will be one happy camper. :lol:

There are several digital cameras having video capture with

- The iCam (add-on for the Flyjacket) but without sound.


- The HP Camera for iPaq and Jordana with the mmVision application with image and sound (video can be saved as AVI and EXE files) but with a rate of 7fps, it seems to be a processing problem.


- The Pretec camera up to 1.3 million pixels, SXGA.


... and more on the market with the Nexicam (sleeve camera) ....

But in this case to be able to add (and I hope soon) a SD digital camera, for instance on the 38xx or 39xx or any device with SD, will be brilliant ...

I never really understand why we need this type of tiny, no quality camera. I would prefer some one make a decent card that can connect my digital camera (for stuff like video conferencing). It is not like you can put this type of camera in the pocket. You have to carry 2 piece anyway.

Makes it the first 'SDIO' anything? Besides SD memory, I don't think I am aware of any other device that works through SD.

This is really cool.
