Don’t be mistaken, the Xcaster 5000 is no ordinary HD camera.  In fact, this thing is a balls out work horse.  It’s able to stream HD video to and from the device, capture high quality audio and all the while let the user engage in a full on conference call.  There are a few different versions available, with the top end including a semi-indestructible, waterproof build and 802.11n connectivity enabling a high bit rate wireless video stream.  Every Xcaster includes a rugged touchscreen and the icing on the cake…an open source OS: Linux.

The Xcaster wil be avilable this May starting at around $8,000.
