No.
This is a rebranded Yealink P8D. It seems Skype on Linux recognizes the device fine and can route audio. However, the buttons on the device don't work. Additionally, it doesn't look like it wants to work with anything but Skype.

Yes.
With your Ubuntu computer running ushare, it can be a client and a server to the streamium so you can listen to your music from the box. The PS3 also works with the tech.

MTX Audio HTB1-S Home Theater Speaker System
Not Applicable...
This are just speakers, so its NA, but getting to work with Linux does involve lots of setup. Getting linux to output proper surround sound audio is not trivial to setup.

Woot off of October 25th, 2007
A little late to the party guys, sorry, I get slothful sometimes.
- Mini USB Clip-On Webcam: No. Given like nothing to go on, I can only guess no. (I'd love to be wrong though)
- Mustek PVR-A1 Personal Media Center: Yes, USB Mass Storage
- Mustek MDC500 5.0MP Digital Camera: Yes, USB Mass Storage
- Philips 1GB MP3 Player : Yes; Everybody's favorite... USB Mass Storage! Whoo!
- Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 w/ GPS Locator Hardware: No, not even usb mass storage can save you now, WINE, however, may be able to help. Winehq.org has one listed test from Jan 2006, which basically says no/performed poorly and didn't even try the gps, which is half the sell.
- Mustek MBT-D120 Bluetooth Dongle: Yes, standard bluetooth dongle.
- SanDisk Sansa e260 4GB Media Player: Yes, libmtp's compatibility page lists the e260 as fully working under libmtp, additionally, the e260 also supports, yes, thats right, USB Mass Storage.
- Netgear 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter:Yes, these supposedly have the Prism54G chipset inside, which has linux drivers. But if not, theres always NDIS Wrapper for basic wifi needs. NDIS 1.49 was released recently, which includes not crashing not a pre-empt disabled kernel.
- ADS 7" LCD Digital Photo Frame:Yes; yup, thats right, usb Mass Storage device Class(MSC).
- Vivitar 8MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Zoom: Yes, so much yes, that Vivitar doesn't list drivers for it on their homepage.
- Palm Treo 650 Smartphone: Yes, Kpilot and GnomePilot.
- Sandisk Sansa e270 6GB Media Player:Yes - MSC. Libmtp does not list this device on their compatibility page.
- RCA 160 Watt Rip & Go 5-Disc Microsystem With 256MB MP3: Yes - MSC
- Netgear 108Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter: Yes, but only via NDIS wrapper.

- Logitech ClickSmart 510 Webcam: Yes via the SPCA50X driver.
- Sandisk Sansa m240 1GB MP3 Player: Yes, MSC; listed with no information on libmtp page.
- Black or White 30 GB Zune:No. Not MSC compatible.
- Mustek 30GB Multifunction Personal Video Recorder: Yes, I haven't heard of Mustek before, but I like how Woot (basically) spells out MSC on the front page.
- Mustek DV-5600 Digital Still Camcorder: Yes, the magic words 'Mass Storage'.
- Polaroid T737 7MP Digital Camera: Yes, MSC as confirmed by their user manual.

Eiki DLP Home Theater Projector
Not Applicable.
With the release of Ubuntu 7.10, it should be even easier to use the projector as a 'second monitor' for your computer. But to the computer, this is just a fancy monitor.

Brown zune for $80
No.
(previously)
I wonder if they'd be more popular if they could run Linux, with drivers for wifi, for all sorts of wireless fun. As it were, the iPod Touch beat them to it.
As a combo device, Nokia N800 style wifi web browser, and a music player, the Zune could'a been a contender. Unfortunately, the lack-luster wifi support, along with the $2 to Universal Music from Microsoft for each Zune purchased meant no-buy. In fact, the $2 to Universal Music Group for each Zune sold isn't even as bad as the 'PlaysForSure' not playing on the Zune.
Jeesh. I'd forgotten how much the Zune sucked. As nice as the hardware is, Microsoft missed the boat.

Compaq SR2170NX Desktop PC
Yes.
The ATI Xpress 1100 uses an R485 chipset, which does not have _stable_ support yet. Being a desktop, there are PCI slots in case the on-board ethernet does not work (but I'd bet it does).

Microsoft Zune 30GB Digital Media Player
Unfortunately, No.
You can list files/folders, and also delete them via libmtp, but the Zune requires Windows to authenticate before you can copy files to it, so thats still a 'no' to Zune support.

Steelsound 5H USB V2
Yes.
These headphones use the C-Media CM108 USB chipset for the audio, and as such, will work under linux. The CM108 is compliant with the USB audio device class which is well supported in linux with the driver built into the kernel.

It is a television, with s-video, which can be used with a properly setup video card. And Linux. And the RandR 1.2 extensions.

Pinnacle PCTV HD Card
No.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but at this price, its a software card. Which means your cpu ends up doing all the hard work anyway, which means long ffmpeg command lines. Since its at a good price point, I wouldn't be surprised if Linux drivers eventually come out, but I definitely wouldn't hold my breath.

InFocus ScreenPlay 7210 HD DLP Projector
Not Applicable, but yes.
XRandR 1.2 will do wonders for multi-head Linux, and allow you to hook up a projector to your laptop and use it as a display without restarting X. Its already out and distributions are starting to use it. Gutsy Ubuntu has support for it, and even has a tool to let you add and remove the second monitor, though it is currently heavily reliant on driver support.

Wireless Garden Yada Headset Hub
Not Applicable.
Useful concept; but what I like more is being able to change what the microphone jack on a laptop does. Of course that doesn't get you as many jacks as today's woot. What the mic jack does, at least on the Macbook Pro's, is configurable at least, by accident, in software.
(Early Linux drivers for the Macbook Pro's had the microphone jack as a headphone jack. This is the only basis for this speculation. Whether this is actually possible remains to be seen.)
