FlipStart, the makers of the “very long time to go from announcement to shipping product” FlipStart micro PC, has announced they are now shipping the Snap Camera accessory for the FlipStart. The unit snaps (I honestly didn’t get that from the name) onto the lid of the FlipStart and imbues the little PC with a 3.2MP camera.

FlipStart rather flippantly refers to it as a 5MP camera, but admits that it only achieves that via software interpolation. The addition also makes the already chunky device even chunkier, but to get a complete PC in such a small package is pretty darn cool. Its a bonus that it also handles VGA video capture. They round it out rather nicely by pricing it at a very reasonable US$150. Not bad, if you can get over the US$1,500 pricetag for the PC itself.
