The Odo? THE ODO!?!?

I KNEW all this "green" crapola was a conspiracy! Now I know who's behind it! The Founders! The Changelings! Don't you see? They're being so transparent now that they expect you to miss the clue they just put in plain sight! The Odo? How 'bout just plain Odo, as in the Changeling that'll be the head of Terak Nor/Deep Space Nine security in the late 24th century! They're invading us NOW so they don't have to wait till we find the wormhole! Sure, you buy this cutesy-pie little camera, thinking you're doing right by the environment. Then before you know it, the camera mysteriously disappears, YOU don't exist anymore but no one notices 'cause they still see "you" every day! Don't believe me? Look at the Leader of all this, Al Gore. You expect me to believe THAT'S a human being? WAKE UP, PEOPLE!!!

the odo camera and al gore

ya know, you might be on to something there, DarkHawke. Al Gore's face is sometimes as expressive as a Odo's featureless face. odd, since you'd think that a changeling would be good at, you know, actually changing its aesthetic features. all Trek-geek kidding aside, if Sony keeps prices down (around $200), I could see this being a fun, family-friendly Wii-esque gadget that everyone wants to get their hands on.

$200 is too much

$200? I take that back. With no LCD screen and no photo-viewing opportunity, this thing better be a sub-$100 toy. i'm all for green technology, but i'm not paying big bucks if i still gotta wait a couple hours before I can get home and check out how my pics turned out on my computer...
