No WiFi. No remote control. Not bad for $99 though!

Where did you get the $99 figure from? I looked all over the page and couldn't find it. Not bad at all for $99.

Photojojo is selling it for $100.

I can't work out if this is waterproof as standard or with the waterproof casing accessory. Any ideas? Is it perhaps just splash proof without the casing?

Also I wonder if it floats in water... would be great for chucking around the pool.

Finally someone else is stepping into the GoPro market. Good to see competition here. I know the feature sets aren't identical but sometimes worse is better.

Not a bad offering from an undead company. The lack of remote shutter and connectivity severely limit the applications.

With a remote shutter I'd be in for one just for retro-ness of using a Polaroid.

I'd love to use a bunch of these to build a "bullet time" camera array. Can anybody think of a cheaper/easier method?

Wonder how strong the magnet is. For example, would it fling off if you swung a driver it was connected to? Wondering since they show it on a putter.

You forgot "Less space than a Nomad. Lame."
