Apple has been caught ordering 3.2 MP cameras allegedly for the new iPhones. This is news indeed though news that only makes perfect sense.

The SWIVEL-CAM is both a DV and a camera, but its most salient feature is its 180-degree-rotating lens… ehm, borrowed from iRiver.

The Aigo MP3 F566+ is an improvement on the former MP3 F566 (without the addition sign), which only has an MP3 player without the camera and a storage capacity that starts from 128MB (it was released way back in 2006).

Hey, I’d be happy if the Yoto T I-PEN R530 only has a 3.0 megapixel camera instead of a 30 megapixel camera built-in. The pen is also an audio/ video recorder directly recording CIF 352 × 288 videos and playable at 15 fps AVI. For still photos, the camera can take up to 640 X [...]
