Aiptek Mini PenCam 1.3 Digital Camera

I have been using various aiptek pencams and have always found them reliable and easy to use and download from, the software that comes with them is usually all the newbie graphics student would need.. the price is coming down and is a bargain anywhere around the $80 mark..... I use this pencam to produce on the fly client graphics for both CD and Web multimedia , I also teach basic multimedia graphics using this simple little beast, The software especially its image transfer is so simple to use..
The main problem I have with them is finding a supplier who can ship stock into Perth as the Australian distributors don't hold this model in stock why ? dunno!
