Just wondering if there is any hand held device that will support a Tou Cam?

would make imaging a lot easier at dark sites!

What do you mean "support"?

Oh you mean instead of using a laptop? Like a PDA or something?

I have seen somthing like this somewhere. It was not for ToUCam, but rather a PDA with built in webcam & software for autoguiding. I couldn't find the site in google but I have seen it somewhere. For the ToUCam the problem is that PDA's are USB clients and to run them as a USB host requires a lot of extra electronic hardware, not to mention software / drivers etc...
Cheers

i am using my Dell Axim 30 which has SDIO NOW!, not just SDIO. It runs BSquare software, basically, i can put a barcode reader into the sdio slot and get input and output.

I am sure i saw a usb adapter running on SDIO NOW! software thru the sdio slot.

I will search.
