Webcam Is Latest Addition to USRobotics' Skype Product Family
High Resolution Webcam with Hi-Fi Audio Headset Will Be Available in January

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--USRobotics, a Platinum Equity company,
announced the addition of the USR9640 USR Mini Cam for Skype to its
Skype product family today. The webcam joins the company's other Skype
products, including USB handsets, a speakerphone, and the cordless
dual phone and accessory handset.

"With our webcam and headset, Skype users can now make free video
calls to friends and family around the world, as well as share
recorded video and snapshots," says Anurag Batta, USRobotics Product
Manager for VoIP. "The camera is a natural extension of our Skype
product line and continues our development of easy to use, reliable,
Skype certified products."

Optimized for Skype, the USR Mini Cam features true 1.3 megapixel
capture capability and full motion video at up to 30 frames per
second. The webcam supports new codecs that enable high quality video
from a small device. The camera automatically adjusts to low-light
conditions, and includes image tuning options such as brightness,
saturation, contrast, and horizontal and vertical reversing.
Face-tracking auto-focus, digital zoom, and a full 70-degree viewing
angle, make the USR Mini Cam the ideal camera for both desktop and
laptop video communications.

Designed for maximum flexibility, the USR Mini Cam can be positioned
on a laptop or desktop, can clip to a flat screen monitor, and can
even stand on a table top. The included headset features HiFi Audio
support for fuller, more realistic sound and is tuned to provide
richer bass and crisper treble, allowing for equal clarity between a
wide variety of different voices, accents, and articulations.

The USR9640 USR Mini Cam with Headset will be available in January for
39.99 USD (MSRP).
