Convergence Gone Ugly: Brando 4-in-1 Webcam

For the most part, I am a big fan of convergence. I like it when one item can serve more than one purpose, but sometimes convergence goes wrong and you end up with a spectacularly ugly gadget. Case in point is the USB 4-in-1 Webcam from Brando. The device wraps a USB fan and USB light into the same package as a USB webcam.

The USB 4-in-1 Web Cam has a suction cup on the bottom so you can attach it to most smooth surfaces. The fan is a dual blade design and is on a separate and adjustable stalk from the webcam and mic. Around the webcam are six LED lights that can be used as a desk lamp and add light for better video recording on the webcam. The dimensions for the device are 75 x 75 x 228 mm and it retails for $23. Brando says the mic will work with any chat software.
