As a design it takes a lot from the Kodak Instamatic ethos, and for that
matter, the entire Kodak ethos from the 1890, "You press the shutter, we
do the rest." It would be nice to see a point and shoot that actually
seemed to be aimed at taking pictures, as opposed to being a platform to
sell "features", but it would also be nice to have a bit of actual
control over the actual picture taking.

It's a nice exercise in design.
It's a masturbatory exercise in form over function.
I sincerely am uncertain as to actual functionality of this apparatus.
It would be completely useless for anyone that uses their camera for anything
but a fashion accessory, or possibly an autonomous photobot that relieves the
person holding it of any of the thought processes behind photography, except
possibly what general direction to point the camera and whether their camera
looks good with their clothes.

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthly search.
