Check out the interview for the answer to your questions. They also demo the webcam functionality.

Until then:
The webcam works outside of the visor connected to a PC via usb.

The lens DOES swviel to allow it to point at the user, or the object. There is a manual and automatic focus... and the $99 price is right - got confused their - sorry!

Targus makes only the coolest stuff. EM2 will have to drip price to compete.

I toyed with buying an EM2 earlier in the year, but held off - I'd planned to revisit the issue closer to Christmas. Now I'm glad I waited - I would have been PO'd if I'd laid out close to $200 bucks for an EM2 and then found out this was in the hopper.

I do apologize if this was covered in the interview, but I can't use streaming media here (blocked at the firewall). Did Targus actually develop this product themselves, or are they just branding a product made by somebody else like they do with the Stowaway (actually invented by thinkoutside)?

Not that it makes a difference... I'm just curious. This is a pretty exciting module, if it is actually going to sell for $99! Maybe it will finally quell some of those whiny "But I can buy a standalone camera with better resolution and a flash for that price!" complaints the Eyemodule always gets.

It's already out? Did a search and Nextag already lists e-stores that have them sore sale, although they are back-ordered. Still a good sign. You can save upto 20 bux on it. None of the sites have info on the module yet so i'm guessing this is the same as a pre-order stage..maybe?

It look cool. REAL cool. But what about Macs?

If this module works as a webcam with a Mac, I am all over it. I knew I held off buying an eyemodule for a reason. Has anyone heard anything on Mac compatiblity? Also, can you transfer images using Ir to a computer?
