IKEA may seem like nothing more than a necessary evil for those who don’t wanna drop a full paycheck on a single piece of furniture (and hey, their pre-fab systems and some in-store displays are actually quite innovative…), but this here is some next level shiz: an eco-friendly, cardboard-bodied digital camera.
Shoots/stores up to 40 images, uses AA batteries (which, if you can find them hiding in the remote control, are a lot more convenient than clunky camera batteries which require special chargers), and it even features a super-handy swing-out USB plug for downloading your pure photo gold.
Not available in stores yet, but anticipated soon. And… not saying this will replace your iphone/droid, but I guarantee it’ll be a conversation-starter at parties or on location for your next commercial gig…

I think it is very well made, awesome looking and well designed.
It would be eco-friendly if they didn’t make this. It’s going to get torn up in a week and go in the trash. (though I guess it’s supposed to be disposable which is also rediculous for an “eco-friendly” product) It might be a fun little toy, but it would be the most environmentally friendly if they didn’t waste the resources and carbon on it in the first place. Just use the crappiest point and shoot you can find instead.
I gotta wonder around where in Ikea to find that?
