New Oddware episode! I was aiming for around 20 minutes in length for this one but eh, I had things to say so it ended up being longer. And it's all about the Hewlett-Packard Photosmart Mobile Camera for Windows Mobile PDAs, which is a 1.3 megapixel digital camera packed into an SD card. Or, more specifically, SDIO. Neat!
I considered making the video of my typical retro camera reviews, but it's odd enough that I think it deserves the distinction. So this ended up being a kind of hybrid episode combining both styles of LGR video. I also ended up trying something slightly different with the photo examples, where I now have some video showing more of the surrounding area near the subject before taking the picture. I think it helps add some context to each shot.
Hope you enjoy this one, and lemme know if you ever used one of these (or the related memory card cameras mentioned) back in 2003 or whenever! I never knew anyone who had one new and I'm not sure how popular they were in the few short years they remained relevant.
