CVS is now selling disposeable DV recorders. One time use, good for just 20-minutes of material at an eh resolution. This is dumb, but the very limitation of the format sort of turns me on, and I sort of want to come up with a little project for one.

Ah, well my handy little Kodak is 6.1 resolution and will hold up to 80 minutes of film, which I can then dump to my computer, edit and burn to DVD. Seems cheaper to buy a camera that can do it than these. (Especially if you were going to film from multiple and merge the result.)

Yeah, i think the main benefit of these is if you want to have multiple cameras going simultaneous, and/or wantedto attach them to odd places (catcam!).

Ah, yes, I could see that. Of course, I don't think anything my cat does is quite $43 worth of exciting. :)

Agreed. Although mine have a scam involving cooperating to deactivate the cable modem and invading my room when I come downstairs to fix it. It's like evolution in action.
