This is useless , digital cameras are so much better than this.

Someone buy this, check if it needs any updated firmware, and crack it.

Information about some FW requierements would be great.

I will not be buying this

[Veskgar]

Does this actually do anything useful? Like..... could you use it as a WiFi Webcam or anything cool like that?

I doubt it. But perhaps some future homebrew apps could utilize this cam in some neat way.

I can bet the resolution won't be the greatest. Maybe the plain, boring stantdard of 1.3 mega pixels (MP). What a complete joke.

I'd get one if it could be used for homebrew... kinda like a portable eyetoy

[fucht017]

But still...I love the fact that the PSP can even make photos...

One of these facts must be wrong:
If it really had 1.3 Mega Pixels the maximum resolution would be 1280x1024 and not 640x480 because that would be 0.3 Mega Pixels
