There are quite a lot of similar devices, quality is terrible, just look at one of the example photos they put up, it looks like no more than 300k pixels on the camera...

True...especially true if two of the features are video and photography.

I'm sure this little webcam+thumb drive gadget does fine with streaming audio and data storage.

But since even Canon, Olympus, and Nikon don't have a killer product that combines great digital stills and high-quality video in one package, I wouldn't count on this $150 gadget delivering it.
