I think Lifeview may OEM their own products...but I'm not sure.

Interesting! Is that a flash I see? Can we assume it's .4 MP?

No, I'm pretty sure that's an optical viewfinder (read: "hole in the plastic that you look through").

I believe it's 640 x 480, but I found something very interesting that is related to this and will be up in about 1.5 hours (don't ruin the surprise anyone!)

I wonder if it works on an iPAQ 3955 with MS Portrait. That would be excellent!

/me twiddles fingers like Mr. Burns

And that one picture on the site (http://www.lifeview.com.tw/eng/pro_ia_cam_cf.html) shows 3 cf cameras and one does have flash. Even more excellent!

Thanks, Dave! Their site says "(1280X1024 for 1.3M only)". Nice. :)

Anyone here have prior experience with the older Flycam product??

It does work with the iPAQ H3900 and Microsoft Portrait.
Let me point you to a review of the FlyCAM. :)
I don't have a lot of bandwidth so don't jump in all at once now.

Nice looking camea but the main problem with this one is the hardware itself. If you use it intensively, this one is too fragile ... in any case, if you buy one do not leave it with your Pcoket PC in any case, you could get a bad result :(
