Sony is to offer a clip-on camera for PlayStation Portable punters this month, allowing them to get snapping months ahead of PS3 owners, whose Eye cam, announced last week (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/04/26/sony_eyes_eyetoy_3/), doesn't debut until the summer.
The PSP version's called the Go!Cam has a 180° rotatable lens, a 1.3-megapixel image sensor and an on-board microphone for sound capture. The unit slots onto the PSP's upper-facing USB port, and there's a screw to lock it down. Sony's bundled editing software, Go!Edit, with the hardware.
The Go!Cam goes on sale on 16 May in Europe and Australia for €50/£35. PSP owners who want one will need to upgrade their consoles to Firmware 2.8 first, Sony said.
