Ok, I think I have this weird Engadget posting bug figured out. When I post a comment on a story that I got to by clicking the "Comments" link, it gives me a blank page and no indication that the comment is actually posted. Clearing my cache lets me see my post and my username links to profile 0.
When I post in a story that I accessed by clicking the story headline it goes through just fine.
If I'm wrong, I don't care; this bug is really frustrating.
Yah, uhmm, I do not want webcams. I want digital cameras that already write to their own individual memory subsystems. Webcams would require too much patience and work. Albeit, a few are remote and can store the images - they are also more expensive.
I simply don't get this. It looks like it's aimed at little girls. First of all, Tweety is a boy. Second, he's like 60 years old. Isn't there a newer more relevant character they could have licensed? Third, what does Tweety have to do with taking pictures?
My daughter got a Hello Kitty branded camera like this for Christmas. I think it cost the buyer $30.
The resolution is 640x480. The "LCD Screen" only displays LCD numbers. And it is completely incompatible with Vista; there is absolutely no way to get the pix off of the camera. It is a complete piece of crap from top to bottom.

I bet the "exclusive tweety photo editing software" is really a pirated copy of CS3 on a Demorez DVD-R.
"Is life? No. Demorez."

I'm having the same problem. It's pretty damned frustrating.
Carbonize @ Jan 11th 2008 10:33AM
Makes a change from posting your comment and not having it appear at all. Makes you wonder how much Blogsmith charges for this.
I bet the software is a re-badged GIMP. Let's se them try and edit their photos now.
Will G @ Jan 10th 2008 8:52PM
Where can I get one?
portwineboy @ Jan 10th 2008 8:12PM
Offtopic, but Ryan Block is on my XBOX Live!
Now Ryan, why couldn't the girlfriend have covered this one?
Ricardo Nunez @ Jan 10th 2008 8:33PM
Who is Ryan Block?
Peter @ Jan 10th 2008 8:22PM
When will you have an engadget giveaway of one of these...I WANT ONE!
Roofus @ Jan 10th 2008 8:26PM
I think the most entertaining part was misreading USB port on the image as "USB pope." Sometimes I scare myself.
DarkLightConnection @ Jan 10th 2008 8:32PM
Glad I'm not the only one.. but I read "USB pore" though
Roofus @ Jan 10th 2008 8:49PM
The most frightening thing is that with the rate they're chucking out USB gadgets, neither of those products is very far off.
booticon @ Jan 10th 2008 8:30PM
Where's the hands-on?
I WANT TO KNOW MORE.
farfisa @ Jan 10th 2008 8:31PM
Isn't this exclusive to real estate agents?
ntotb @ Jan 10th 2008 8:32PM
Hey, it is not that bad. I'd get one for my 4 year old daughter
ohng @ Jan 10th 2008 8:50PM
8MB memory -- stores 300 photos. Does this have EGA resolution? Those are *tiny* pictures.
EastBayAnt @ Jan 11th 2008 12:16AM
Maybe it converts the photos in-camera to ASCII art? (Actually, I think I WOULD like a camera that does that...)
fuma @ Jan 10th 2008 8:51PM
...am I the only one who thinks Tweedy is posing like a whore? (and is naked).
Mickey Jones @ Jan 10th 2008 9:22PM
Seek help.
Ryan Trevisol @ Jan 11th 2008 8:36AM
Worse, TWEETY IS A MALE.
Fernando @ Jan 10th 2008 8:52PM
USB pope mini fig ftw
Mickey Jones @ Jan 10th 2008 9:25PM
Nope. It's only a teaser.
Personally I'm waiting for the new Ultra-Thin Tweety Digital Camera.
Maztec @ Jan 10th 2008 9:54PM
Right, how much are these? I have a project where I need about 40 cheap digital cameras :\ Resolution is welcome to suck.
thethirdmoose @ Jan 10th 2008 9:58PM
Buy webcams for ~5 each on ebay/china

Carbonize @ Jan 11th 2008 10:30AM
Hmmm "smile for the birdy"?
