Yeah, they obviously thought it's enough to have an "i" in front of the product name and make it "some hue of white" in order to make it appeal to Mac users...

No kidding, fryke -- it's like talking to a wall sometimes. Apple has mastered the delicate balance of form and function, and these companies think it all has to do with a color and lowercase letter. Imitation is sincerely the highest form of flattery, but this is a pathetic attempt at imitation. While I'm sure the camera has some exceptional internal components and functions amazingly, the form leaves much to be desired -- I'm sure it would have looked a LOT better had they NOT tried to imitate but instead just went with what they thought looked good.

For something selling for $59.99.. it looks like some cheap plastic thing you'd pick up at at computer store for 12 bucks. You can't really make something in the same style of Apple and have it "work" because it's just not.. Apple. It kinda looks like the Lisa too..
