Picked up a digital camera at WalMart a little while ago. Nothing fancy, just a USB interface, simple lens, and viewfinder. (This thing is barely a step above a pinhole camera with a CCD behind it) A scant 640x480 resolution, but that's fine--for $42 I'm not expecting much. Just something dead-simple that I can use to send pictures back to the kids while I'm on the road. (Same reason I picked up a $30 USB microphone adapter)
And... It doesn't work. IPhoto has no idea that the damn thing even exists. While on the one hand I'm not hugely surprised, on the other I'm trying to figure out why the heck anyone would bother with any sort of custom firmware on this thing. That seems like an amazing waste of time.
