Pinnacle “Woot” TV PCTV HD Pro Stick
No - but doesn't look too hard to add support.
Pinnacle has used this chipset for a usb capture device before (see drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-cards.c in the kernel source). It does not look like this device has USB ID's already defined in the file, but seeing as how the chipset is already used and understood by the kernel, it shouldn't be too hard to add support for this.
update:(from woot's own forum) getting a similar usb dongle working under linux

RCA Universal Remote 2-Pack
Not Applicable.
A friend of mine wrote Winlirc, but the L in Winlirc stands for Linux because it was modeled off Lirc. Build/buy the receiver, and lirc it up!

iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robot
Not Applicable.
The Scooba's pretty cool, I have a friend that has one. But for the more... teleconfrenc-ing-ly inclined, iRobot is also coming out with the ConnectR which is a roomba with a webcam on top.
They claim it will allow you to :
I'm not convinced. I feel it needs a screen to display the remote user's image, at least. It looks more like a pervy 'look up girls skirt'-bot to me. But, ah, yesh. The Scooba is cool.

They claim it will allow you to :
- Participate in family moments even though you're working late
- On a business trip? Read your kids a story and see their faces light up
- Join the fun from near or far
- Throw a party from a thousand miles away
- Tell Fido he's a "good boy" even while you're on vacation

Sandisk Sansa C240 1G MP3 player
Yes.
The microSD slot makes this rather handy, actually. LibMTP doesn't list this device on their compatibility but it should work okay. For everything else, theres mass storage class to the rescue.

This Roomba comes with the docking station and a remote control. The docking station is handy, but you still gotta empty the Roomba, so it is not a magic solution.

Theres a Beginner's Tutorial for it available online.

Power Sentry Theatre Director Surge Protector, Line Conditioner and UPS for Home Theater
No.
Power Sentry's home page doesn't even list this product, but given that theres no option on the support page for what kind of UPS you have, I'm gonna assume the internals for the UPS are the same, which means the drivers are the same. The windows program is a java app which uses SNMP to talk to everything. Theres an PSRMI.exe that I'm guessing talks, via jusb.dll, to windows and the UPS. Given that, it wouldn't be impossible to reverse engineer the usb protocol and pack it into the newhidups driver. Looking at drivers.list in the NUT package, theres no listing of the actual device.

Black or White 30GB Microsoft Zune
No.
(previously)
PlaysForSure doesn't play nice with the Zune. Who decided this? Did the different departments have some internal political clash? Feh.
This is getting close to a year old now, but Microsoft gave a libmtp developer a Zune to get working with the project. The problem is still the authentication which is needed to 'okay' the zune to talk to the computer.

Mustek MDC630Z Digicam
Yes.
Woot, I wish your product descriptions had more concrete details, I pulled the product number off the product picture.
Mustek doesn't even offer windows drivers (or manuals either) for this camera on it's web page. And while some of Mustek's older cameras were a weird proprietary protocol, mass storage class is now their format of choice.

Not Applicable.
Ah, robotics. Random Linux robot bits:
Lego's popular NXT robotics kit, has good Linux support with NXT Python.
MASLab, an MIT competition, uses single board computers running Linux for all their bot needs.
The Qwerk , designed by CMU for robotics applications, was designed with Linux in mind.
