Sounds cool, but what's the picture quality? I assume I can't (legally) hook it up to my own PC and reuse the camera. Hrmm.

I've read reviews saying that they are actually quite decent (for being disposable anyway) and some can get up to 3 MP. Wouldn't know though, we have a real, much better cam so I haven't tried one myself.

2megapixel CCDs must be REALLY cheap to manufacture now!!

I was watching Tech TV when they did a little segment on those. The kodak disposable digital camera. It turns out it wasn't even digital. Lol, what a joke. Its just the same old 35mm camera with a new look on the outside.
