I cannot give you a definitive answer, but AFAIK a USB webcam will not work, as the N900 cannot act as a USB host.

A project to enable the N900 to be used as a USB host is ongoing, but I assume you would need ARM linux drivers for it to work.

why not use bluetooth? I know theres an app already for nokia symbian devices...
I wonder whether it is possible to have an extra webcam connected to the device. Due to some application/experiment, I found it would be much easier for my work if I use another webcam instead of the onboard Carl Zeiss one.
Any help or link for this?
Many thx.
