Webcams are pretty much the same today. Some of them have better optics and more megapixels than the others have, but design wise they all pretty much sit on top of your monitor to capture video. IPEVO has announced a new webcam called the IPEVO P2V USB CAM.

The new camera is on an articulating arm that looks more like a desk lamp than a webcam. The camera itself is a pen-style camera with a resolution of 2-megapixels. The cam features a macro mode for shooting items as close as 2-inches away.

IPEVO announced today at the Consumer Electronics Show an Internet connected digital image frame. It is called the Kaleido R7 and it will be available in March.

The IPEVO Kaleido R7 incorporates what is described as computer-centric behavior in how it provides consumers access to favorite Web content via wireless streaming and syncing. A channel based concept allows users of this frame to subscribe to content from photo-sharing Web sites like Flickr and Picasa, as well as news or blogs via RSS feeds. This is in addition to the traditional method of accessing content stored on computer hard disk or memory storage devices.

IPEVO, a developer of Internet devices, is using CES to show off its new PoV Web camera, which “lets users share their Point of View during Instant Messaging, chat sessions, and other Internet communication applications.” No specific pricing has been given for this product.

IPEVO says the PoV is unique in that one can detach it and capture images and video from any angle and vantage point. This Web cam is compatible with most IM applications and includes an integrated microphone for audio. It is USB 2.0 compliant and will only work with Windows.
