Technical Info
This section is for those into the techie side, along with the artsy side. Hopefully we will be able to find or provide useful information for those wanting to know what goes on inside the cute little plastic cases, or help those trying to use the mini digital cameras on non-windows systems.
Operating System Info
While all or most of these mini digital cameras only come with software for Microsoft Windows operating systems, they use standard chipsets recognizable by operating systems like Linux and OsX. Photo import software like GTKKAM and GPhoto have been reported to work. Once I get some links to forums with some documentation on how to get the mini digital cameras to work on operating systems other than Windows, I will post the links here. Keep in mind, none of these are guaranteed by us, nor are for the faint or heart.
