I think the idea of a digital Holga/Lomo/toycamera/crapcam is pretty good and should be viable economically, considering how much people spend on the original toy cameras.
It could have been made much more compact though, and the lens should have been more crappy. Some built in film emulation/digital crappifyers would have been nice. Like that Chase Jarvis app for the iphone, but as shooting modes, not post-processing. That would make the images much more interesting and bring back some of that uncontrolled randomness that made toy cameras big sellers.
