Jasco Wins 2005 Techgirl Award
Press Release
New Jasco GE PC Cam Brings Out The Glam
Jasco is pleased to announce the GE GlamCam™ won the 2005 International CES Technology is a Girl's Best Friend (TechGirl) Diamond Product Showcase award in the Digital Imaging category.
The winning product was selected by a panel of style and technology journalists and was judged on form, function, ease-of-use and the product's lifestyle benefits to female consumers.
The new GE PC Cam is affectionately called the GlamCam™. The new GlamCam™ is a multi-purpose web camera that flips open to reveal a mirror on one side, and the camera's color LCD screen on the other side. It can record video and be used for instant messaging or video conferencing while connected to the computer or as a portable digital camera.
The GlamCam™ is similar in design to a foldable, flip style cell phone, so it can be easily stowed away in a briefcase, purse or pocket and taken anywhere. Unlike most multi-cams, the GlamCam™ offers a color LCD screen to view photos as they are taken to ensure your photos are exactly what you expect them to be. The Play Back feature allows photos to be reviewed on the color LCD in a slide show format, so you can share photos with friends and family at the push of a button.
With the GlamCam™ the user can check for out of place hair and refresh lipstick or make-up with the attached mirror before having a picture taken, joining a video conference, or going out on the town to ensure you always look your very best. The small size and chic design make this camera a perfect addition to any women's ensemble.
The PC Cam market is booming! With less than 1 million units sold in 1998 compared to a projected 44+ million units in 2004 (International Data Corp.) the consumer is craving PC Cams with innovative ideas that fit their lifestyle.
