Asus' 2MP Webcams Double as Biz Card Scanner

Mobo manufacturer Asus must have thought that 2007 was the year for them to branch out all over the place. Following their release of their Dolby USB sound card, this time around they are entering the webcam market and bringing some promising products to the table with the AF-200 and MF-200 webcams.

These two webcams appear to be identical except that one features auto focus and the other is manual. I'll let you guess which is which. Perhaps one of the most interesting things about these cams is that that are able to recognize business cards with the packaged software and by placing them the built-in card holder. Combine this with the capability to take 8MP still images, 2MP video and a stand that seems like it will let you mount it anywhere on anything, and you have a camera that will be great for the home user and businessperson on the go.
