Green House Corp introduces a new 1.3-million-pixel USB webcam which can be directly connected to a USB port without a cable. Pix-Eye revolves around to adjust its angle, which is good for laptop computers. With an extension cable and a hook attached, the camera can be used for a desktop computer on its display. For Windows XP/Vista only.

Windows XP/Vista only...
Well I won't ever be buying one of these... until someone or the other gets around to cleaning up the code so it works on a real OS (Nix, BSD, OpenSolaris, etc.)

Area66: Be realistic it's a commercial product, how many consumers run those OS on a laptop?

gogogo: Much more than you think, especially in japan, especially in the category of people who might buy this product. Until now it was ok for companies rebranding cheap chinese products (like elecom) to get away with buggy driver only for windows and never more mature than an 1.01 release. Today the wind has already turned. And either supporting linux or coming clean about the spec of the product to allow independant developers to fill the gap is what differentiate success from failure. If the maker is at least a little smart their webcam will follow the UVC norm and therefore de-facto be supported by mac OSX and Linux.

I first read it as "Revolving UBS webcam" and was wondering if it generates spin while losing billions of dollars.
