A mysterious camera from Microsoft showed up in a FCC filing yesterday. The camera with FCC ID C3K1563 has both Wifi and Bluetooth aboard for wireless data transfer and can be connected to a computer using a micro USB cable.
The FCC filing also reveals the camera be charged in a docking station. Unfortunately the filing doesn't reveal many other details. So far Microsoft hardware only included webcams and in this case it seems to be a digital camera.
We could speculate that Microsoft, like Google, would like its Windows OS on as many devices as possible for seamless operability. The camera could use the excellent Nokia Pureview technology and run a mobile Windows version. However Microsoft also holds several patents related to digital camera's which could mean the company bring innovation to the digital camera market.
