Review: Ipevo USB PoV Webcam
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Misc. Tech, Product Reviews, USB,
Ipevo was generous enough to lend us one of their movable PoV cams that we first told you about it back in December. The $39.99 priced camera came intact with a CD, mounting pieces that are mostly easy to attach, and almost everything we needed to test it out. Unfortunately, the extended instructions were on the CD, so it was a back and forth effort. Our full review after the jump.
(Thanks, Caroline)

The UK company Hutchinson 3G, (generally known as “3”,) has developed a VoIP Skypephone. Users will have a dedicated button selection to reach the contact screen and make one touch calls.
