Bubble Head Web Cameras
Webcameras tend to have a similar look and feel to them among their creators. The Bubble Head Webcams look quite cool though and are a nice change to the standard looking webcams we see in the shops each day. Unfortunatly they are just prototypes right now and not in production. Should they ever make it to production I am sure they will hit a nice niche in the market to sell in bucket loads as they are more colourful and very unique.

The Samsung i7 is a 7.2 Mega Pixel camera and more. It has 450Mb of internal memory, 3 x optical zoom and face detection technology. What caught my eye first was the interesting rotating display.
