Crapgadget CES edition, round 5: tweety! digital camera

With exclusive tweety photo editing software.

I bet the "exclusive tweety photo editing software" is really a pirated copy of CS3 on a Demorez DVD-R.

"Is life? No. Demorez."

VERY NICE

[Reader @ Jan 10th 2008 9:47PM]

Meh I was gonna say a reskinned version of paint...

[Andrew @ Jan 10th 2008 7:55PM]

more like a pirated and crippled version

[michas_pi @ Jan 10th 2008 8:00PM]

Ok, I think I have this weird Engadget posting bug figured out. When I post a comment on a story that I got to by clicking the "Comments" link, it gives me a blank page and no indication that the comment is actually posted. Clearing my cache lets me see my post and my username links to profile 0.

When I post in a story that I accessed by clicking the story headline it goes through just fine.

If I'm wrong, I don't care; this bug is really frustrating.

[booticon @ Jan 10th 2008 8:31PM]

I'm having the same problem. It's pretty damned frustrating.

[Carbonize @ Jan 11th 2008 10:33AM]

Makes a change from posting your comment and not having it appear at all. Makes you wonder how much Blogsmith charges for this.

I bet the software is a re-badged GIMP. Let's se them try and edit their photos now.

Offtopic, but Ryan Block is on my XBOX Live!

Now Ryan, why couldn't the girlfriend have covered this one?

[Ricardo Nunez @ Jan 10th 2008 8:33PM]

Who is Ryan Block?

[Peter @ Jan 10th 2008 8:22PM]

When will you have an engadget giveaway of one of these...I WANT ONE!

[Roofus @ Jan 10th 2008 8:26PM]

I think the most entertaining part was misreading USB port on the image as "USB pope." Sometimes I scare myself.

[DarkLightConnection @ Jan 10th 2008 8:32PM]

Glad I'm not the only one.. but I read "USB pore" though

[Roofus @ Jan 10th 2008 8:49PM]

The most frightening thing is that with the rate they're chucking out USB gadgets, neither of those products is very far off.

[booticon @ Jan 10th 2008 8:30PM]

Where's the hands-on?

I WANT TO KNOW MORE.

[farfisa @ Jan 10th 2008 8:31PM]

Isn't this exclusive to real estate agents?

[ntotb @ Jan 10th 2008 8:32PM]

Hey, it is not that bad. I'd get one for my 4 year old daughter

[ohng @ Jan 10th 2008 8:50PM]

8MB memory -- stores 300 photos. Does this have EGA resolution? Those are *tiny* pictures.

[EastBayAnt @ Jan 11th 2008 12:16AM]

Maybe it converts the photos in-camera to ASCII art? (Actually, I think I WOULD like a camera that does that...)

[fuma @ Jan 10th 2008 8:51PM]

...am I the only one who thinks Tweedy is posing like a whore? (and is naked).

[Mickey Jones @ Jan 10th 2008 9:22PM]

Seek help.

[Ryan Trevisol @ Jan 11th 2008 8:36AM]

Worse, TWEETY IS A MALE.

[Will G @ Jan 10th 2008 8:52PM]

Where can I get one?

[Fernando @ Jan 10th 2008 8:52PM]

USB pope mini fig ftw

[Mickey Jones @ Jan 10th 2008 9:25PM]

Nope. It's only a teaser.

Personally I'm waiting for the new Ultra-Thin Tweety Digital Camera.

[Maztec @ Jan 10th 2008 9:54PM]

Right, how much are these? I have a project where I need about 40 cheap digital cameras :\ Resolution is welcome to suck.

[thethirdmoose @ Jan 10th 2008 9:58PM]

Buy webcams for ~5 each on ebay/china

[Maztec @ Jan 10th 2008 10:19PM]

Yah, uhmm, I do not want webcams. I want digital cameras that already write to their own individual memory subsystems. Webcams would require too much patience and work. Albeit, a few are remote and can store the images - they are also more expensive.

[Eric Riback @ Jan 10th 2008 9:59PM]

I simply don't get this. It looks like it's aimed at little girls. First of all, Tweety is a boy. Second, he's like 60 years old. Isn't there a newer more relevant character they could have licensed? Third, what does Tweety have to do with taking pictures?

[Wwhat @ Jan 11th 2008 1:36AM]

licensed? you think?

[Carbonize @ Jan 11th 2008 10:30AM]

Hmmm "smile for the birdy"?

[pcgecko85 @ Jan 10th 2008 11:17PM]

looks just like a hello kitty digital camera

[Lazerface @ Jan 10th 2008 11:30PM]

i tawt i taw a putty tat in my digital camra!

[bobbywigs @ Jan 11th 2008 8:56AM]

if this actually works, my little kids would LOVE it.

[webon @ Jan 11th 2008 9:40AM]

Tweety DSLR for me please

[Red @ Jan 13th 2008 8:34PM]

Whats with the pink?
Tweety is a boy

[WallyG3 @ Jan 16th 2008 12:36AM]

My daughter got a Hello Kitty branded camera like this for Christmas. I think it cost the buyer $30.

The resolution is 640x480. The "LCD Screen" only displays LCD numbers. And it is completely incompatible with Vista; there is absolutely no way to get the pix off of the camera. It is a complete piece of crap from top to bottom.
