The Eyemodule2 sounded like a fun toy BUT it's really just a toy. The shutter speed is a second or two. So it's real hard to hold the Handspring steady to avoid the inevitable blur.

But more annoying, when I went to intall the software on my PC, the install failed twice. First, it couldn't find "The Conduit". The website explained it was a known problem, and I should install 3 of the 4 modules from the CD-ROM and then do the Conduit from the Web.

So I unchecked the Conduit from the install list, and it started to install. But soon it warned that there was a missing DLL. Later it said the install was unsucessfull.

This whole situation shows there is no quality control there. This may be the last Handspring attachment I ever buy. I will try to use the Eyemodule occassionally (guess I'm stuck with it), but with low expectations.

I also had trouble installing the software. Finally downloaded it (...). Then, once we got it working, the module ate up the batteries in less than 1/2 a day. When we take the module out, the visor has plenty of juice. But, when the module is plugged in, I og messages that I didn't have enough battery to take a picture. Very frustrating and very expensive!

The applications that come with this camera are really cool; however, the [bad]resolution of the pictures taken by the eyemodule 2 render these good applications virtually useless. The pictures have a grainy quality at best. Pictures taken in daylight are of somewhat better quality, but not much. If you want decent digital pictures, my recommendation is to buy a real digital camera, and not this [one].

Obviously it's not going to make you the next Ansel Adams, but this little Springboard device is SERIOUS FUN. It has the magical charm of those ancient toy plastic-lens cameras and its cool factor is just about off the scale. The color is surprisingly true and the fact that you're holding your Visor like a 2 1/4 inch format camera gives you the same disarming interaction with your subject, ie, you can make eye contact since you don't have a box in front of your face.

Again, don't expect miracles, and remember that any camera is merely a tool, you've gotta bring some magic of your own to the table, but I must say that I haven't been this happy and excited about an electronic device since... well, ever. It's THAT good. PLUS its little manual is exceptionally well-designed, the little metal case that comes with it is brilliant, the software is robust and well thought out -If there's going to be an Eyemodule 3, I want to be first in line to buy it!

If you are not too exigent with your expectations about a very good quality camera, this is the tool you'd use without pay any battery or a card expansion. OK, the quality is not the best but it is quite clear if you learn to take your photos after trial and errors. When you got it you'll see it was worthy to buy one. If you don't want to carry everywhere your regular digital camera this is the easiest way to do it, just connected with your visor inside your pocket/case. Believe me, it's fun.
