I just got me a new gadget today from Thinkgeek

Prior to ordering it I emailed them to find out if this device was SDHC compatible. They said no, but as it turns out it is...kinda. I stuck my 16GB Patriot card in it and it could read and write to the card just not see the full capacity, just up to the 4GB limit. That limit at max settings still lets me snap 2000 pics or 3 and 1/2 hours worth of dvd res video.

The best part is that because the N800 and this camera both use SD cards I can take video with the camera at better resolution than the one built in on my tablet and watch it or upload it anywhere just by moving the card.

One minor glitch I found so far is that because the camera records in mpeg4, the built in media player gives Codec Not supported error. Installing the OS2008 beta for Mplayer played the files fine though.

Another thing that might be of interest to coders out there (and the reason for this post) is that this camera uses Mini-USB, so with a mini to mini cable you could tether this camera directly to the N800 for a higher-res camera attachment of sorts. This doesn't work out of the box (at least for me) because my tablet hasn't been tweaked for USB Host mode.
