Target gift card for the holidays multitasks as adorable digital camera 10 November 2008 at 8:58 pm by admin

Okay, we don’t know who came up with this idea, but we have to give them some credit for innovation, not to mention (in our opinion) some pretty attractive design sense. Yes, Target’s new gift card gimmick this holiday season is that it doubles as a cute, disposable digital camera. The little device runs on two AAA batteries, has a self-timer, and is packaged with a USB cord, driver disc, instruction manual and a voucher for 40 free prints from Target. The camera itself is a 1.2-megapixel affair with 8MB of memory on-board, which means it can store about 50 images. Now, we know this just a ploy to get us to buy Target gift cards, but we’re kind of smitten with this little thing. Oh, and: Bah! Humbug!

The car currently gets 50 MPG, but the LincVolt team are aiming at 100 MPG and a system that will achieve “over-unity” (generating more energy than is put in). The company has also launched a new website which will provide live data from Shakey’s very own vehicle (voltage, battery charge, speed, etc.) as well as the typical blogs and forums. If that isn’t enough, we’ve even included a video Neil driving his car, just in case you’ve never seen anybody drive a car before. Check it out after the break.
