Brica ViewArt 1000 a jack-of-all-trades

The Brica ViewArt 1000, in theory, comes with everything but the kitchen sink. Why do we say that? The manufacturers managed to cram in a digital still camera, a camcorder, MP3 playback, an integrated FM radio, a voice recorder, an e-book viewer, a webcam, and a DVR into a device which is small enough to fit onto the palm of your hand comfortably. This pocket-sized device let’s you view recorded video clips on its 2.5″ LCD display, and while its 512MB internal memory does not amount to much, there is an SD memory card slot for expansion options. $265 is relatively good value for the amount of features crammed inside.
