Either Boynq hasn't vigorously defended its trademark or it has quietly released another nifty hybrid USB device as a successor to Alibi. The multi-functional Boynq Iris is a UVC-compliant webcam with an integrated 1-piece USB speaker that also triples as a 8-LED USB light. At the center of the Iris are the microphone and the VGA CMOS lens which are nothing to write home about. Surrounding the webcam is the 5W RMS speaker. Eight LED Lights are located along the circumference which can be used for illumination during video conferencing and just for regular lighting. The Iris that is encased in a soft touch rubber can be tilted and rotated like a normal desktop light. But there's something odd about the Iris as you cannot mount it atop of your monitor so the webcam will always point at you from an undesirable angle. This is an inherent flaw associated with many of designer products. The Boynq bears resemblances to the Brando 4-in-1, but the former certainly has the looks. Anyway, the Iris is going for only £29.99 so Boynq or whoever isn't making a killer profit. About Everything USB
