Easy-to-find plug 'n' play Linux webcam!

[Christopher Lees]

Hi all, yesterday when I was in Dick Smiths I noticed they have their
own brand of miniature notebook webcam. On the back, it actually
advertises Linux compatibility with kernel 2.6.28!

And it really does work. The quality is better than my older camera AND
it works with Flash. (It's a UVC device). It appears to also contain an
ALSA-compatible microphone but I haven't tested that part yet.

So: That's a Dick Smiths webcam, with Linux compatibility advertised on
the back. I think it usually sells for $99, but I got it for
$70-something. Should be very easy to find: Just look in your nearest
Tandy's or Dick Smiths!
