If anything, it will serve as a reminder to crack open those new ones…
Clap Your Hands Digital USB Camera
The Clap Your Hands Digital USB Camera might be one of the easiest cameras you will ever operate. From the looks of it, it appears to be just another fancy flash drive but it is actually a 2-megapixel camera that takes photos and videos.
