Disposable Camcorder

Posted by Zonk on from the yay-toys! dept.

shamowfski writes "CVS Corp on Monday began selling a disposable digital camcorder. The $29.99 pocket-sized camcorder was developed by Pure Digital Technologies Inc., a San Francisco-based start-up company. The camcorder weighs under 5 ounces and holds 20 minutes of digital video and sound. It features a 1.4 inch color playback screen and an ability to delete video, and it saves video on a memory chip instead of tapes. Can't wait till they hack this one."

  2. How to check this out by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm trying to checkout the CVS camera, but no luck:

    cvs co disposable_camera
    cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
    cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
    Can anyone help me check out the camera?
