Yes.
Sling Media SB240-100 Slingbox-AV

Franklin Merriam-Webster Dictionary with MP3 Player
Yes.
Franklin MWD-480 Merriam-Webster Dictionary with MP3 Player
Guess Who? Usb Mass-storage Class, thats who! At worst, you could put files on an SD/MMC card (not-included) and use it as an MP3 player that way.

Sony VAIO VGN-AR550U Digital Studio Notebook PC
No.
A cornerstone of this product is the ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner and that does not work in Linux. The HDMI out, the HDTV receiving and recording, no go. The wifi is probably a no go too.

"Random Crap"
No - but it won't work with windows either.
1 Woot series Yule 3000 Bag of Crap.
This is a highly advanced Yule 3000. It contains technology not found in ordinary stores, no this product is indicative of advancements from the Dollar Store.
Buy 1.. Buy 3!
Just know that it is crap and Woot doesn't want it anymore. They can't even pawn it off on their (unsuspecting) employees.

JVC 770 Watt 7.1 A/V Receiver with PC Link
No. (Works with OS X though)
1 JVC RX-D301S 770 Watt 7.1 A/V Receiver with PC Link
Audio reciever/switcher that includes a 'usb' input type. Theres a USB dongle that connects to the unit wirelessly. You plug it into your PC and it appears as a USB Audio Device. Given that this works on OS X, theres a possibility that it also works with Linux, but I doubt it.

V7 5.6" Digital Photo Frame
Yes.
1 V7 5.6" Digital Photo Frame VPF560QE
This has a built in USB port that you can put our friend a USB Mass Storage device into, and have it read that. Linux supports vfat/fat32, which this device undoubtedly reads, which means you can copy pictures to a USB memory card via linux, and this device will read them, and show you the pictures from it, and curses! It sold out between when I loaded the page and when I clicked the button.

Soyo FreeStyler 500 Bluetooth Headset
Yes.
Soyo FreeStyler 500 Black Bluetooth Headset BTWLHS02
If your computer has bluetooth and your phone does as well, Ars Technica had a great piece recently about connecting those two. Nothing about headsets though.

Kodak 8MP Digital Camera and Multifunction Printer Bundle
No.
1 Kodak Easyshare V803 8 Megapixel Digital Camera
1 Kodak Easy Share 5100 All-in-One Printer/Scanner/Copier
3 Bits.
Camera probably works via libptp, and as Kodak developed the picture transfer protocol (ptp, supported via libptp), I'd bet you can pull picture off the camera with it. Even if you can't, theres always the SD/MMC slot and a card reader.
Copier function is stand alone and linux support is not applicable
Printer bit works with OS X 10.5, Leopard, and thus, via CUPS, works on linux.
(The Easyshare-printer-dock driver under CUPS on linux)
The scanner however, does not seem to. Libsane and libsane-extras doesn't seem to list the scanner.
Someone tried with Ubuntu 7.04, and an EasyShare 5500 instead of the 510 being sold here, and it
did not work. It is not a definite indicator, but it is not a good sign.

Dyson DC14 Full Kit Upright Vacuum
Not Applicable.
"Non-sentient machines can (still) live perfectly productive lives in modern society!"
"A lot of things are better off non-sentient anyway. Can you imagine the counseling self-aware nuclear weapons would need?"
Hannelore and Martin to Winslow, QC: 1001".
That said, the Dyson vacuum at my parents does better as a vacuum than my Roomba, but alas, it is manual drive.

NavMan N40i NavPix 3.5" Touchscreen GPS
No.
1 NavMan N40i NavPix 3.5” Touchscreen GPS with Built-in 1.3MP Digital Camera
This product has been discontinued by NavPix, so you do not get their newer NavDesk software but their slightly older SmartST Software. SmartST didn't match anything in WineHQ's database. It uses Microsoft's .NET 2.0 technology, which seems to be working in certain versions of wine, however, ActiveSync, which the program uses to sync to the GPS device, does not. Given that this is a multi function device, it does not appear that there is a USB Mass Storage profile for this device.
Heh, you can subscribe to their "Safety Camera POIs" map data - meaning known speed/red-light cameras are noted on the ma (arguably more useful in the UK).

Viore HDTV Wizard Portable HDTV Tuner
No.
Doesn't look like, and the Viore site doesn't even list the device. I'll bet that it's an OEM chip of some support, which may actually have linux support. Need someone to get one and crack it open and see what it is.
