This one, I have to admit, is impressive for PalmOne. But not unreasonable, and 3megapixel doesn't even seem to mean what it says anymore in cameras because they report "effective" resolutions after software enhancements. Camera technology has progressed very rapidly over the last few years due to the efforts to make it work for camera phones.

I've mentioned this here before... if they're targeting any sort of corporate or business users with this device, this is going to kill them.
In many (most?) business, government, and corporate environments, cameras on devices are
forbidden. This includes PDAs, cellphones, and laptops (Sony Vaio, for example) with built-in camera devices. In many companies (including one I've been doing quite a bit of work for recently), its a terminable offense. If you're found with one on-site, you're fired, no questions asked.
This is yet-another reason why device convergence is a bad idea. If I can't decouple the camera, I can't buy the device, and will find a vendor that makes one I
can use.
