Genius Launches Cam Mouse
Genius introduces its new 2-in-1 device, the Cam Mouse, an innovative mouse that becomes a camera with instant photo uploading, QR code scanning and more.
The Cam Mouse combines a 1200 DPI mouse with a 2 MP camera, bringing the best of both worlds. And while cameras on notebook monitors are awkward and unwieldy, the Cam mouse is as easy to use as a small hand-held camera. Plus it can seamlessly switch between mouse and camera modes in a split second - simply slide open the lens cover and snap away.
The Cam mouse also makes it easy to share ones photos with friends and family. It syncs with social media sites, so one can instantly upload pictures. In addition the Cam mouse provides photo-editing tools and scans QR Codes. So if a teacher is about to erase some valuable notes off the board, or if a presenter in a meeting switches slides too quickly, one can take advantage of the Cam Mouse's speed and versatility to take a photo right when one is in need of it.

they want thier gimmack back
This is a fully-functioning camera that doubles as a QR code/barcode scanner, which itself is built into a functioning mouse. Brilliant idea, but I doubt its success. How many people are going to be willing to use a 1200DPI mouse for the sake of not having to use a dedicated webcam?
Even THAT product struggles to sell. I don't see how the genius cam mouse will survive.
This is a mouse and camera/QR scanner, and it's only $30. I'm not saying it'll sell well, but I think it has a better chance than that scanner mouse.
In my country there is a rule.
If it's cheap ill buy it even if I would get double quality for a dollar more.
It sound crazy but that's just the thing that 90% of customers do when they come to buy anything.
