In the last couple of years most Internet providers made the leap for broadband connections and most of us can now enjoy HD content directly from specialized sites. One thing I don’t understand is the stuttering frame-rate with webcam broadcasts. Even with a VGA webcam I most of the times get a 2-3 fps. What’s going on? OK, that might be the internet provider’s fault. Moreover, HP releases its 3 Megapixel webcam and all I can think of is a frame per a couple of minutes now.

What’s all the fuss about the new 3 Megapixel Elite Auto Focus Webcam? Looks weird at first, but it comes with premium specs. Apart from that 3 MP sensor that provides beyond true HD capabilities you get the possibility to capture 12 MP still images with the aid of software interpolation.
Among the other interesting features I dare mention the HP instant chat button, which allows you to automatically launch your preferred Instant Messaging program. Here’s something I’m interested in: the new webcam is a certified high-speed USB 2.0 so we can take full advantage of our broadband access and enjoy up to 30 frames per second for smooth and natural body motion. What kind of broadband connection are they talking about? A Gigabit connection maybe, who knows?
Anyway, here are the rest of the specs:

• Unique easy clip option: for stable, secure and easy to attach to select
HP monitors

• Tilt and Pan: easily adjust your webcam to let you show what you
want while maintaining a stable connection to your monitor

• ArcSoft Magic-i: enhance your video conferencing experience with fun
special effects. Magic-I also keeps all your webcam controls in one
application and allows you save up to 5 user profiles so you are
looking good wherever you use your webcam.

• Compatible with AIM, Windows Live Messenger, Skype, and
Yahoo! Messenger.

• Integrated stereo microphone and plug and play USB connection for
easy installation .

• Privacy cover: slide the privacy cover when you don’t want to be seen. The colored shade helps you identify if the privacy cover is on or off.

No price as of yet, but we don't really want to know the price.
