Nyko WormCam
Appealing to the international spy in everyone, Nyko's WormCam is affordably priced at under $40 and also features a unique SpyCam mode that allows pictures to be taken while the camera is unattended. Photos can be taken in two modes, either by motion detection or time-lapse photography. The WormCam can store up to 22 pictures, which can then be edited on the Game Boy Advance screen or uploaded to a computer for editing and emailing. The WormCam comes complete with a PC computer link cable and image editing software. In addition, an internal battery allows the images to be saved until ready to be deleted.
Best of all, there's no need for a separate, more cumbersome digital camera on road trips with the lightweight WormCam. Measuring only 3" x 3.5" x 1.5", the digital camera attaches by utilizing the port located at the top of the Game Boy Advance. Once attached, the system becomes a working digital camera boasting a 10-bit RGB 356x292-pixel resolution. Equipped with a lens that rotates 180 degrees from front to back, it's perfect for self-portraits.
Nyko is also offering a free downloadable software upgrade for WormCam on its Web site at www.Nyko.com. The new WormLink software provides users with the following features:
- Faster download speeds to the computer
