Transcend introduces USB flash drive with integrated digital camera

By

Talk about compact technology! Transcend Information has managed to integrate a Digital Still Camera and a lithium battery that can be charged by the USB port of a PC into a flash drive. Sounds like a great stocking stuffer at $46 USD!

Transcend Information has introduced a USB flash disk drive with an integrated VGA digital still camera (DSC). The JetFlash DSC is designed to enable users to take digital photos without the inconvenience of needing a USB cable or card reader to connect to a PC, according to the company. Equipped with a 0.25-inch CMOS image sensor, the JetFlash stores pictures in a 640×480 JPG file (VGA), sized at 55KB. Once the pictures are transferred to a PC, the bundled software can be used to edit or enhance the photos. The USB flash disk drive also includes a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that is recharged via the USB port. The JetFlash is USB 1.1 compliant and does not require any additional drivers for installation (except for Windows 98).
