what doesn't make sense is that in one spec it refers to the Palm OS, and in the next, Pocket PC/SmartPhone.
Looks to me like the specs have some issues already. i bet this is for Palm OS not Pocket PC.

Hope the pictures are good and sharpness great. The Flyview CF camera (almost same specs but CF card) is unuseable , pictures are grainy and very bad. I just hope this product from Expansys is better.

how much is �72.47, in dollars?
This looks like an amazing solution. I would never have really expected an SD camera. Nice job guys.
However, usually most people have their CF slot for some device, and their SD card for memory. Therefore, this might not appeal to some.
It amazes me that people will go out and buy this camera for their PPC/Palm OS PDA, however, when Sony released their supped up, supercharged Clie last week, many flamed it and bashed it, as being nearly useless on a PDA.
I think theres a double standard, which really bothers me how people can be really one-sided.
