Eyemodule looks interesting. @ $149, it's a great price.

Does anyone think the resolution will be adequate? Is megapixel the only way to go?

I just want to email a few pictures from time to time.

The eyecam won't be a replacement for a digital camera... it doesen't have that high of a resolution... It's just for something to snap shots with... If you want high-quality pics then get a digital camera... Personally I will probably get a eyecam, because I don't need a realy high quality camera.

I think the Eyemodule will be a very cool thing to have. I actually like the fact that it is a lower resolution. Most of the pictures I use in my articles/reviews I have to crop and resize anyway.

My goal is to write reviews on a Visor keyboard, take pictures with the Eyemodule, and use a modem springboard module to upload it to the site Who needs a PC!

James, are you sure you want to use such low res for VC? The max is only 320x240 pixels.

I like using smaller resolutions for web pictures because they take less time to download. The original picture that I received for the InnoGear Q&A was 1024x768. I resized it to 320x240. But don't think I'm going to use it every time. I still have a digicam for when I need a very clear picture.

James,
It might be nice if you made the small image a link to the bigger one. Some people use large monitors at high density. I'm running 1600 x 1200 both at home and work. This makes a 320 x 240 image rather small. Also, sometimes its just nice to see the details that get lost in a smaller picture.

frasej, I'm with you. I use 1024x768 and am sooo happy that CNN.com at least went to 800x600. Don't worry, if there is a pic that needs the detail of the higher resolution, there will be a link to it.

But don't be surprised if the Eyemodule review has a lot of 320x240 pics in it
