A new section in the MS Hardware section of our web site today: all about digital communications with the two new USB2, high-speed LifeCams, the LifeCam VX-3000 and the LifeCam VX-6000. (Previously blogged here.) The features page on the new cameras can be found here.
I have the VX-3000 on order as I don’t need a 5MP camera feature (as found in the slightly more expensive VX-6000) in a desktop video camera, so more on the VX-3000 when it arrives.

Here’s today’s news of the Microsoft/Palm collaboration on the Treo 700 with Windows Mobile 5.0, as hinted at in Businessweek last week. See also the announcement on Microsoft.com. (Update 101006: this is an old link: please see this link for more on Windows Mobile on Palm devices.)
“Full product details will be disclosed when the product is available for purchase in early calendar 2006. Palm indicated that a Treo smartphone using Windows Mobile based on other wireless technologies was not anticipated to be released earlier than the second half of 2006.”
Waiting patiently until 2006… until then, I seriously am considering the Motorola Q Smartphone.
