Videophone Dick Tracy Would Love 

Full-size image


Nintendo's Game Boy Advance with a Campho Advance device attached, designed by Digital Act. The two companies collaborated to make it possible for the Game Boy to be used as a videophone. When connected to an analog telephone outlet, the display shows live video of the person on the other end of the line, who must also own both the Game Boy Advance and the Campho Advance.

All that wonderful technology, and they can't come up with a decent sci-fi movie. Go figure.

The new GBA SP has a flip-up screen that would obscure the camera. Doh!

You'd get carpal tunnel trying to wear that monster on your wrist.
