1. Yes (I've heard)
2. NetFront (which supprts hires screens and comes free with the TG50) and AvantGo (new version, currently in beta - supports hi-res / OS5)

can anyone confirm this? And what have your experiences been with the camera (quality,software/drivers,other) And how does it compare to the nr70v's built-in cam?

At first blush, it appears that the PEGA-MSC1 Memstick camera does not work with the TG50. I have a Clie brochure (Japanese) which lists accessories for each Clie as well as all bunched together, and the camera is listed under the PEG-SJ33, and specifically not under the TG50.

Furthermore, a search under available accessories for the TG50 at e-tailers that list it do not include the camera.

In addition, check out:

Sony site on Clie TG50 (http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=EjthmHGWIN9hg0_rIWVrkz6Hd5x7WCpzRy4=?CatalogCategoryID=vf4KC0%2eNUbwAAAD0aJa3txA3&ProductID=ZQcKC0%2eNuigAAAD0TyW3txA7&Dept=hp)

And check the accessories link--the camera is not listed there, either. ...so it doesn't look good.

No big loss, though--it's just a one-megapixel camera, and with the ability to import photos via bluetooth from your PC and through that your digital camera...

Whoops! I should have looked just a bit further. Here is a special page for the camera (http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=EjthmHGWIN9hg0_rIWVrkz6Hd5x7WCpzRy4=?CatalogCategoryID=VNMKC0%2eNyPIAAAD0oZa3txA3&ProductID=mVsKC0%2eNZdUAAAD0WJG3txA7&Dept=hp) which states specifically that the camera is:

Compatible with: PEG-NR70, T665C, T615C, T415, SJ30, SJ22, SJ20, SL10, N760C, N710C, N610C

Also, the page claims that it takes up to 320x240 photos, much less than one megapixel. So even less of a loss there.

The PEGA-MSC1 camer is NOT compatible with theNZ, NX or TG series....yet

[jwildmd]

yeah, I think the camera is for OS 4 only right now

I am hoping Sony will make a better camera for OS5; correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the add-on camera the same as the NR70V camera? If so, how bout we get a camera like that on the NX/NZ? Actually, I'd prefer an even better one, but I suppose we'd be lucky to get one that uses the same hardware as the one in the NX/NZ devices.

I'm guessing that the PEGA-MSC2 will have a VGA or megapixel resolution...

That is, if Sony increased the memory of its handhelds to 32MB. Otherwise the camera is a waste of memory.
