I ordered this item from Amazon on August 23, 2008. It’s now September 27th and the projected ship date is October 6th. Amazon has been saying on the product page “Usually ships in 7 to 9 days”, but lately, no indication of delays on product page. No matter how good it is, nothing is no better than nothing!

Picture is a little dark and focus is rather tricky but compatibility is excellent. Perfectly functional unit.

I received the item on time. However, it smelled like someone’s been smoking on it for the last thousand years. Mind you, this was supposed to be a new product. Imagine quality is good, but the “built-in” mic doesn’t work. All I get out of it is some weird Morris Code type sound. I have to turn the sound off from the camera and use another mic.

Just a heads up to anyone considering buying some hardware with the Microsoft brand name. I bought a Microsoft MN-710 wireless router and network adapter a couple years back. You’d expect it to have drivers automatically install for Vista or Windows 7, right? No! There aren’t any, not even for download. It’s worthless and I have to replace it now and it makes me angry. I have older hardware that the companies updated their drivers, and work with Vista and Windows 7.
Buy your hardware from a hardware vendor not a software vendor. Microsoft will not care about you or your silly web cam 2-3 years from now, when you are looking for a new driver.

Even Microsoft will not make its own hardware where it will work with Windows Vista. Notice in the specs, it’s missing from the list of OS’s.
