However, the resolution is butt-awful - low low low and pixellated like you 
wouldn't believe.


Nowadays, one can buy a 640x480 camera for under $40.  

SiPix StyleCam Blink Digital Camera:

Two inches square [2.4 in^3], 8Mb of on-board ram, fixed lens, USB interface, 
TWAIN driver.  No flash.

It also comes with cheap-o [ArcSoft] photo software.

Just a glass viewfinder, takes 1 AAA battery.

disclaimers: I've seen one at Fry's; haven't bought one.  I have a 640x480 
camera that plugs onto my Palm Pilot that works well enough for its size.  
This is the "old" model now, the Deluxe having a 1.3Mpix imager rather than a 
.29Mpix imager.  The new model is MSRP'ed at $80.  I've considered buying one 
for my daughter as her Barbie cam is an expensive Polaroid.  I dislike the 
Fry's shopping experience and I have been a happy Outpost customer in the past.
