I guess that someone might find this program cute. But by far the most interesting things are the gallery images on their site.

It looks like a fun program. If it were a bit cheaper ($20-$25?), it would qualify as an impulse purchase-worthy for many people, IMHO. But at $40, it makes one think twice about "do I really need this?" It made me think twice, that's for sure.

I just played with this thing for the last half an hour. It's actually extremely cool. The interface is easy and intuitive, the sound effects are kind of fun, and it taps right into your iPhoto folder. Like all the best creative tools on the Mac, the software gets out of the way and lets you work.
