It's most likely going to be another re-brand, like the Camileo Pro HD which is really an Aiptek ZDV - http://www.aiptek.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ZDV&Category_Code=DC1&Store_Code=AS
Can't seem to find this model, but I'm sure it's made by some other company as well and sold for much less without a Toshiba sticker on it.

Naughty naughty Toshiba, rebranding cheap stuff and charging loads for sticking its logo on it.

Nice find, TLS. I knew that 10MP spec wasn't right - it's 5MP and takes 10MP interpolated shots (bleh!)

Isn't the Interweb wonderful? :)
Rebadge or not, I'd still be waiting for a James Morris review before making a move.

Shame, let's hope this is one of the better rebrands - the specs certainly offer hope...

That chrome bezel on the front looks so cheap..looks like a childs toy.
