Title: Is The Sharp Camera The Only One That Will ....

Hi all

Just wondering.

Can you use a Pretec Compact Camera or the HP Jornada Compact Camera with the Zaurus?

I would like to find out before I part with my not very hard earned pennies, after all curiousity killed the cat, but it didn't make him spend any money first.

No - there are no linux drivers for these devices.

I have gotten a compaq web cam running on a c3000 running qtopia 2.1, but had to reconfigure/recompile the kernel to do so. The camera app on a Sharp rom only works with Sharps cf camera.

Many thanks, I will keep these in mind, however they say that they only work partially.
