Everyone in the family can now have more Internet fun and stay connected with the PC Digital WebCam Lite, which features user-friendly, plug and play set-up and high-quality, still-picture and motion video capturing. "The PC Digital WebCam Lite is a great value that lets everyone in the family enjoy video communications. 3Com is offering more people the opportunity to share photos, create exciting videos, web albums and webcards over the Internet," said Anna Pappas, Solutions and Product Line Marketing Manger for 3Com. "3Com is committed to expanding this product line so video communication is more affordable and offers the right products for everyone." When Lite is Enough With the PC Digital WebCam Lite, 3Com makes it radically simple to enjoy the benefits of video communications for people who require less flexibility and mobility in their video needs, but still want a high-quality webcam at a lower price. For example, the WebCam Lite is perfect for the senior citizen who is homebound and simply needs a device to connect with friends and family.
