Hmm. I know someone who bought a GooGo camera a couple of years ago. It seems very nice mechanically and produced a decent picture but no way to reset the WiFi password if you lost it.

Totally useless now even without losing the password - iPhone/iPad app discontinued and apparently no way to get it. The existing installed app won't even open on the iThing. Just displays a message to the effect "Broken Forever" - putting it as politely as I can manage.

I would be looking for something that did not need a dedicated app OR possibly a very well established manufacturer. The interface then would need to be a web page and/or a video file I would imagine.

To add insult to injury the only place the WiFi password is now stored is inside the iPhone. Bit silly to have allowed that to happen but even if an android app could be found/installed/... it is not that simple to get the password out of the iThing. It is only WPA so maybe it could be hacked:-)
