Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
I had to post again because I found the original specs and photos at archive.org

The Flipstart has gone from a sleek and sexy machine to something that looks like a $50 DVS player from Walmart. Apparently the original design over-heated but to my mind that's not sufficient reason to sacrifice good design. If Jobs, rather than Allen, had produced this it would surely be an ultra-cool and desirable device.
