Microsoft OKs Logitech video for MSN Messenger

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Personal computer peripheral maker Logitech and Microsoft are working together to provide a co-branded Webcam interface to the Redmond, Wash.-based software behemoth's MSN Messenger IM network client. The move brings legitimacy to Logitech's IM Video Companion application, which the Fremont, Calif.-based firm -- a leader in the low-cost personal PC video camera space with about half of the market share -- had been offering for free to users of its Webcams since last year. The program works with third-party cameras as well as those sold by Logitech.
