These days it can seem like every netbook and notebook computer on earth comes with some sort of Webcam, but most desktop systems still don’t include that bit of hardware—which, for some people, represents a bit of cost savings but, if you want to do video chat or conferencing, it represents a major hassle. As such, the market for add-on Webcams is still going strong, and peripheral and accessory maker Logitech launched a major assault today, announcing no fewer than seven new models designed to appeal to all ranges of Webcam users, from folks who want a high-def experience to consumers looking for just the basics. Logitech is also using the camera as a way to push Vid, its own video chat software that lets folks connect to each other using just email addresses—no accounts or third-party software to mess with.
