USBNews.net has posted some news of the first USB 2.0 Web Cam

USB 1.1 web cams are very popular, but they have always had a significant drawback—throughput. The current USB 1.1 is only 12 megabits per second, and that’s a huge problem if you are trying to do 30 frames per second, or full sized pictures (640 x 480 resolution), or full color.

We have written the article as a timeline, following the unfolding events year by year as marked by the various press releases. We hope that the article produced will act as a useful point of reference for past events and their significance in the overall story. Why not take a nostalgic trip down memory lane :):
