Hi.
I haven't heard that the pacmate was based on the ipaq. I have seen both the
older
modles, and the new ones, and I am still not impressed.
to me, you could buy a toy from a toy store
that feels better. it feels
cheaply made.
it feels very flimsy.
I don't know the model number, but if
you go to the catechnology.net site,
you can see the info on how oleg
has upgraded to the 8 megapixel camera, and
i think he gives the model or at the
manufacturers name.
as far as reducing hte image, you can do it in several ways. I think the way
the oleg doe sit,
he takes an image of a whole page.
but, you could use digital image processing algorithms
to pull out a section of the image and present it to the array,
or you can use other algorithms to compress the image.
I know while I was at blazie, we
bought a book on this type of processing,
but I don't know it name.
i am sure if you did a search
using google on image processing algorithms,
you would find a great deal of info.
