    @Jason Chen: Would this work on a wireless usb hub? Would you possibly consider a testmodo for the readers?

    Any monitor that requires nothing more than USB power is fantastic, but at 7", it is much closer to novelty than an actual usable product. Perhaps if I needed a second monitor on a laptop, but then I don't think a laptop would provide the needed power on the USB port.

    Or you could hook up a real monitor via DisplayLink USB connection and have a decent looking screen :)

    [www.displaylink.com] for details.

    @rentahero1: quasi-proprietary-BS, you could nearly get a UM-710 for the cost of the adapter dongle necessary to use any normal display with that port...

    @bpapa9013: MY BAD, I thought you were talking about "displayport"


    [en.wikipedia.org]


    Although I noticed the wiki article is a little "biased" and of questionable validity...

    @rentahero1: The UM-700 (newer/lower model?) uses displaylink technology...

    @bpapa9013: Yep, just noticed that on DisplayLink's site. But DisplayLink supports monitors up to 1600x1200, so you can do a lot better than 800x480 over USB 2.0.


    Funnily enough, I work for a DisplayPort adopter company, so I'm probably more than a little biased about the format as well ;) Actually, DisplayPort isn't proprietary at all. It's a VESA standard just like VGA and DVI. And DisplayPort will eventually be cheaper to implement than DVI (once the devices that support it are produced in volume), which is why there's a PC industry push to adopt it. Despite what you hear from certain websites, it's not just Apple (although Apple has their Mini-DisplayPort which is actually proprietary).

    So the webcam isn't good? Darn. I could have used this for my G3, as I really don't use it for more than host one of my webcams anymore.

    @Jason Chen: I've become a cam snob since I got ones that are better than my original cam. :) I really like this b/c it would mean I could finally return the LCD I "borrowed" from work a few months back as well as add a sixth cam to my line up. Any chance of getting some test shots?

    @ninjagin: Right now there's two on my computer, one on my bed, and one on my couch. I just set up a fifth which points out my window, but I haven't put it online yet. Check it out at GitEmSteveDave.com

    does this thing need to be plugged in? or can it be powered via the USB?
