Coby Snapp CAM3000
The Coby Snapp CAM3000 is a mini digital camcorder not unlike the Flip. It costs all of $30 but is capable of taking 640 x 480 videos at 30fps and 1280 x 960 snap shots (1.3 MP CMOS sensor). It has a 1.5″ LCD screen, 4x digital zoom, 32MB internal memory with an SD card slot (up to 8 GB), and runs on 4 AAA batteries.
If you want “deluxe” versions, you can get the Snapp CAM4000 (same video capability with a bigger, swivel LCD display) or the Snapp CAM5000 (which takes 720p videos).
Snapp CAM3000 Demo
Dick used the camcorder to take a video of a visiting squirrel in his backyard. You can check out the quality of the video on YouTube.
The Penguin Tea-Timer
Steve Leth from South Jersey found the Penguin Tea-Timer on stupid.com, and has recommended it to Leo as a companion to the Toothpick Bird (Episode 282) for his Plastic Animal Planet channel, and Leo can be the Marlin Perkins of tacky plastic bird gadgets. Dick thinks that this is the TTTT surprise that Leo has planned for Dick.
The Penguin Tea-Timer was first suggested to Leo by another listener – George from Ajax, Ontario, Canada, in Episode 501. Dick and Leo talked about it again in Episode 542. This is the third time the Penguin Tea Timer makes an appearance on the show. If Leo covers it again on TTTT, it’s going to be a real surprise.
