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."

    This argument is getting old. Just like the AC who replied, I too have a phone with a camera and maybe the kitchen sink.

    The battery lasts a week with normal phone calls and a bit of texting. If I was to turn the phone off when I go to bed then I'm sure it would last 10 days.

    The phone is 18 months old and was one of the cheapest on the market...

    Like I said, this really is an old argument that doesn't hold any weight.
