LGR Oddware - HP Mobile Camera for PDAs

Ғылым және технология

In 2003 Hewlett-Packard released the Photosmart Mobile Camera for iPaq Pocket PCs running Windows Mobile. And the entire thing is on an SD card! Or more specifically SDIO. It's got a 1.3 megapixel sensor, 4x digital zoom, manual focus with macro, and a surprising bit of versatility for such a tiny device.

    "What happens if you plug it into an SD card reader?" Nothing! I discussed this briefly during the section on SDIO, but while the two interfaces look the same, SD interfaces do _not_ accept SDIO peripherals. Unless you've got a device built to support SDIO things then it won't work. Plugging the HP Mobile Camera into an SD card reader results in a whole lot of nothing, it won't even recognize that there's anything inserted :)

    I am a South Korean teen and I had similar looking Windows PDAs in my family junk box. I assume it was from the early 2000s and had a built-in camera and a stylus. However it did have a SD card slot for additional features. I remember when I turned it on (it was dying, the latex rubber decomposing and battery going crazy) it had features way ahead of its' time. The most impressive to me was the navigation app, and remote control. The navigation app didn't work but I remember being able to turn off the home TV with the PDA. Oh and of course good old solitaire games, too. Since that experience I have been hooked on vintage/retro tech!
