Mattel's Vidster: The camcorder your kids can't have

"Mac users may pass it buy"? Just wanted to point out the Freudian implications ;)

They only wrote software for Windows, but I suppose if OS X can see the camera and pull the video files off of it (or the SD card), you can edit them yourself. Just won't have all the kid-friendly interface and things like backgrounds, frames, transitions, special effects, etc. The Vidster is still listed on their customer service site and details the specs a little better. Also: 1.3 megapixel still shots, 15fps/320x240 video, no optical zoom, 2x digital zoom. ======================== Vidster Digital Video Camera Product#: J2130 | Released: 2005 | Battery Info: Requires 4 AA | Ages: 8+ Product Description: Capture Life Your Way with the Vidster digital video camera and editing software suite!
