Veo's new SDIO camera for Palm OS devices is one of the first SDIO accessories on the market, sporting 640 x 480 VGA resolution, 24-bit color and its own software.
Chances are that if you own a Palm OS device - or any kind of device, really - with SDIO capabilities, you've long since discovered that apart from Bluetooth cards, there isn't much you can use it for. Courtesy of Veo, owners of Palm OS devices with SDIO capable SD Card slots now have at least one more use of them; taking pictures.

Veo's new Photo Traveler card is the first SDIO card specifically aimed at Palm OS handhelds using SDIO card slots, such as the Palm m125, m130, m500 series, and i705 models. Slated for shipping during November, Veo did not comment on whether the card will be compatible with other SDIO-enabled handhelds such as Handspring's Treo 90 or Palm's recent Tungsten T and W models, but said its software is compatible with Palm OS 5.
The new camera is part of the broader Photo Traveler line of products that Veo announced in September, and takes 24-bit full-color photos at VGA (640 x 480 pixels) resolution through its swivel lens with automatic focus. Automatic exposure, white balance and color control are all items on its feature list, and the Photo Traveler also comes with a rugged travel case.
Its software will according to Veo let users capture, view, store and organize their images, as well as beam images via Infrared to other handheld devices for viewing. A software developer's kit will also be available so custom applications can be developed for the cameras.
The Photo Traveler for Palm handhelds will be available at major U.S. retail stores in November and will have a suggested retail price of $99.99 USD.
