Once again, datanywhere.com is the first to bring you the latest accessories for your Pocket PC Phone - here the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone, the O2 xda or the Siemens SX56. All you have to do is install the included award winning software IA Camera Wizard, connect the SD camera thru the SD slot on the bottom of your device and you are ready to go!"<br /><br />Then seem to be sold out at the moment, but watch the page for when they get more in.

Wow! 8O I wish I knew they were there to begin with... I wonder how many they had in the first batch.

My order is placed!

The XDA is not SDIO how are they doing this? is it essentially a memory card with a camera... pictures actually get stuck on the car instead of th unit? Any ideas?

[Cortex]

they probably have a memory cache on the camera to buffer the image while it slowly gets transfered over the nonSDIO SD card slot of the XDA.

one of the other ppct users had posted on the concept a few months back.

Will this work on Pocket PCs without SDIO slots (but have SD) like the iPAQ 3870?

[SiliconAddict]

A 300K CMOS image sensor? Has anyone seen any pictures made with this camera? It's nice to finally have a camera for the XDA, but what if the image quality is not good? It is still $79.95 ... Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there already a pocket pc camera (Pretec?) which also was very promising on paper, but in practice sucked big time?

[acarriles]

The pictures are quite decent, specially for a $79 camera. I'll post some pictures later today, as soon as I get back to the office. The images are stored directly onto main memory on the XDA, and there is no noticeable transfer time. You can even save video with sound!

For those of you that want one, the best way to get them is to order them online and you will be on the allocation list for the second batch that will ship on the first week of Septembter (in about 10 days).

Wondering if this will work with Dell Axim???

[pdantic]

Any idea if this will work with the HTC Tanager Smartphone? It comes with IA's camera and album software in ROM so that would be ubercool if it did... :rock on dude!:

I posted the below Ebay link to this very same camera in the Pocket PC Passion Phone Edition forum some time ago.

Well it now appears that he's sold out too! :cry:

[delfuhd]

Well two people have asked so far.. But I'll ask again. I have a 3850 will this work with it? The not needing SDIO is very interesting, though I have a feeling it won't work on non-SDIO ppc's except the XDA's.. Any comments or answers on this will be great to lots of people thanks, and if it does with on my 3850, finally I'll have a non cf expansion device being worth to buy! (i cvan use it with my 3970, yes, but I try to keep my 3970 as stock as possible, my 3850 is my "play pda." lol.
