Logitech tries its hand at creating a device resembling the HAL 9000 except they forgot the megalomaniacal tendencies—you’ll have to talk yourself out of your airlock. The new ViewPort AV 100 offers a video camera, integrated microphone with “acoustic echo cancellation” and a Bluetooth wireless headset, all sucking from the standard USB teat. The device appears to be an enterprise-level product, made available to video-conferencing software companies and solution providers. The specs go something like this: 51-degree field of view, 30 frames per second and near-CD quality sound, even over low bandwidth connections, which is fantabulous and stuff, but it’s too bad we can’t get our non-enterprise paws on it, yet.
