GBA Videophone Peripheral Ready for Release
Digital Act prepares Nintendo telecommunication accessory.
In these exciting days, the handheld console market is teetering on the brink of a new age, with constant chatter of DS-this and PSP-that. But while everyone considers the bountifully joyous possibilities of the eventual, finalised products, the good ol’ GBA is continuing to bulk up its oft-understated technological muscle. Following the unveiling of AM3’s downloadable movie dispenser, comes news that Digital Act is almost ready to release its Campho Advance digital videophone for GBA.
Due for a Japanese release on July 30, Digital Act is hoping to shift a limited run of 10,000 units via the official website. For the price - 19,000 Yen (under £100) - it does seem like a relative bargain, being considerably less expensive than most other video-phones on the market.
There are no plans to bring this device to Europe, but it should still be interesting to see how successfully the now ageing GBA can take on the role of multimedia player and communication device, and how popular these peripherals prove.

Cool idea,but a bummer we won'e see it. A digital camera was long over due for GBA if the previous GB one doesn't work. I'm not sure, does the old GB digital camera work ok with GBA, is it in colour or black and white with GBA?
Come to think of it this video phone could work nicely via the DS because of it's wi-fi option. If it was cheap to use it would be nice too.

Mario would blush if he really knew what this was going to be used for.

the old gb camera does work with game boy advace since its just a regular game by game just with a camera sticking out. it's not black and white but its not full color. if you have ever played the old gb games on a game boy color or advance, they have some blue tones or some green tones to the picture. that is all the color that it gets.

When you put in an old GB game, at the start up screen you are able to press a certain combination of colours to ger a certain colour scheme (4 colours) in the game. I've still got my GB camera, but I don't really use it all too much now on my SP probably mainly because it's upside down in my SP. I'm assuming that the cameraphone adjusts for this, though I wonder it you can actuall adjust where the camera is pointing at.
