In addition to being a digital still camera, the device functions as a camcorder and a PC camera. Still, the quality can be surprisingly good. Twenty-six images, at a maximum VGA resolution of 640 X 480 pixels, fit in the memory. To free up space, pictures are uploaded to a computer via USB port. The PC camera function, in which the PenCam II VGA is connected to a computer, seems to work best for moving pictures.
Picture quality has to be more consistent for everyday, dependable use.
But what a novelty it is. James Bond, eat your heart out. In the world of high-tech, the goals are speed and performance. Although the price tag can kill those desires like a cold shower, that's not the case with the Handspring Visor Platinum. A 33 MHz processor and 8 megabytes of memory make it fast and able to store quite a bit of data.
