I got a camera and want to connect it to my Acer PPC to use it messenger.



50944 TYPHOON EASYCAM USB 330K



- how do I do this?

- do I need a driver for this camera?
(There is none on the Typhoon-Website - any idea where to look for a
driver?)

- do I need special Software?





Your help is very much appreciated

AFAIK Messenger on Pocket PC doesn't support video, sorry.

Cheers - Neil

IMHO the best bet for you would be to check out Microsoft Portrait, from
Microsoft research. It does support live video on the ppc as a
messenger-type communication setup, but I do not suer if your camera will be
supported. I am asuming this camera is PPC friendly?
