Samsung takes a page from Flip’s playbook with the introduction of the $150 PL90 digital camera, due in September. Says Samsung:
“The PL90’s integrated USB connector allows content to be shared with friends and family quickly and easily, with the camera’s plug and play capabilities, including the Auto-install intelli-studio software, and instant access to any computer via the USB. In addition, users will never have to worry about running out of power with the PL90, as the USB connector also allows consumers to charge the battery without a separate power cord.”
Join me as we ask what took so long, won’t you? All inexpensive point and shoot digital cameras should have similar functionality. Or more of them should, at least. Other features include a 12.2-megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD screen, and video capture up to 640×480 resolution.
