You'd be surprised. I believe it had the same USB implementation as a bunch of other very cheap cameras, a fairly arbitrary but simple vendor protocol over "full" speed (ie 12Mbps) USB.

My records say it claimed to be a "Che-ez! Snap / iClick Tiny VGA Digital Camera". Which, straight away there's one lie because VGA is 640x480 and this camera couldn't do that. Presumably somebody making a $5 camera used this chip with an actual lens, a sensor and maybe even flash (both kinds).
