The camera could have had so much better resolution

I hope someone makes a homebrew for it soon, it should be possible, even if it involved reverse engineering it

by the way 640x480 is the VGA 600000k (or 0.6mpx) resolution

It is kind of a dilemma because I am thinking that if it can be used for homebrew or cracked to be used on earlier firmwares then we'd better get one now because they might fix it in later versions but if we can't crack it or use it in homebrew then it's pretty much a waste of $50. I don't think there will be any good apps for it and I don't need/want a camera so I'll hold. The GPS is another story though.

Huh, I still don't get it: When you work it out
640x480=307200

Or what do you mean? What is 600000k? 600.000.000?

Werent the PRX files for GPS and Cam found in a firmware dump of 2.71??? so that would mean it could be used on 2.71 SE im not 2 sure but o well .. Camera doesnt seem 2 interesting to me anywayz im interested in the gps but maybe by that time they'll be devhook v0.47 emulating Firmware v3.00 and i noe im goin a lil off topic but u think Dark_Alex would ever make a v3.00 SE that would be friggin amazing

It's really a shame that Play-Asia no longer are
shipping outside Asia.

$50 isn't that bad price, considering it has 1.3 megapixels and I'm almost certain that it can be used in homebrew one way or another sometime.

I will definately get Chotto Shot, but I'll probably wait for a while and see how it develops both here and maybe they'll make an upgraded, smaller version with higher resolution in 2007? It would be amazing to see this placed in PSP2 if it really comes out.

I also hope that it works for 2.71, but even if it doesn't, we'll hopefully be able to emulate 2.82 soon.
