SD Camera for Pocket PC phone without SDIO

[RommelS]

This is somewhat of a good news for Axim and other non SDIO Pocket PC device users. Although the camera is only available for the Pocket PC Phone Edition like the XDA, T-Mobile, and AT&T, there is hope that non SDIO devices can use the SD slot for something else other than reading a memory card.

"The best community Pocket PC web site (in our opinion) - PocketPCPassion.com - presents in its forum section discovery of one of its users: the ViewTake CM35C - "SD Camera for PDA Mobile" - that works with xda Pocket Phones!!! Interesting thing is that xda does not have SDIO slot (just regular SD) so this camera is using some kind of trick to achieve this. Resolution of the camera is nothing special (up to 640x480) but ability to be attachable to SD card slots, without the need to use SDIO Now! drivers makes this camera a superb solution for many users of Pocket PC devices, including Pocket PC phones like xda."

Very interesting concept. Pity the resolution is so low.

I think I'd rather have my digital camera. PDAs are becomeing like pocket knives, when you start adding everything you'd ever want to them, they get a little too big to be a pocket anything. It's still a cool concept though.
