Archos Multimedia Jukebox Camera Module

MP3NewsWire.net has a review of the Archos Multimedia Jukebox camera module. Within the bounds of the few days I had one that was working, I agree wholeheartedly with their conclusions. I don't expect to use it as my primary digital camera, but I do think I'll catch a lot more of life's fun little moments with the kids, especially videos. And it sure did catch people's eye when I took pictures with it.

It's a pretty sweet package that will blow away the competition when they release the direct feed video recorder module. Although, I can't help but eye the bigger video screen (four inches) on the Portable ReplayTV device that SonicBlue is looking to roll out next year. (I can't seem to find a picture of it online, although I did see one in a magazine.)
