1 Amcor 3900 3.5" Touchscreen Portable GPS
This device uses Windows CE as it's OS, and so uses activesync to communicate to your computer. Synce for linux does not seem like it would work to hack the device and so you'll need activesync for windows to have this work. You can install/uninstall apps with synce, but it doesn't look like it supports the requisite registry hacking to allow you to hack the Amcor.

Winehq says
no, but that report says Ubuntu 6.06, which means they are probably using a version of wine from March, 2006. That said, someone managed to use the 2006 version of wine, with the 2006 version of TaxCut, so I'd bet that the 2008 version of wine works with the 2008 version of Tax Cut.
As much as Intuit is evil, Turbo Tax Online works fine with Linux.
(Then again, software as a service is also evil.)

Soyo Freestyler 500 Bluetooth Headset and Bluetooth USB Adapter
No.
Yeesh this is late but I've bought one to see if I can get it to work. It's not listed on the usb bluetooth dongle page,
so I have no idea what chipset it uses.
Hopefully just a rebadged CSR bluetooth dongle.

Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless
No.
This seems to be a rebranded HAVA box. There is an unsupported RTSP export in certain firmwares that VLC is able to play, so all is not lost on Linux.

"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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

No.

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.

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.
- Sandisk Sansa m250 Black 2GB MP3/FM Tuner/Voice Recorder: Yes, MSC; not listed on libmtp compatibility page.
- 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.

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.

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.
