The battery is NOT RECHARGABLE!!! It is clearly printed on it, "Caution: Do not recharge"
I am curious though, would there be any problems using regular AA alkaline batteries? Aside from not lasting as long...
After you get it, take some pictures and see if you can upload them from camera to PC
I can't vouch for the Kodak software running on those crappy operating systems, but
I am able to download pictures from it, and the first few things I turned up in a google search sounded like I would have trouble with linux... For any linux users here, grab the NEWEST version of gphoto2 you can. This camera uses PTP protocol which is just starting to be implemented in the code. (The version shipping with Mandrake 8.1 does not support it) Oh yeah, and they weren't BSing when they said "make rpm" option is broken...I thought it might have been fixed since last November when it was noted...
Hmm...anyone verify it works with XP out of curiosity?
