The've got a "Traveler Digital Camera - 6.31 MP" for $249 next week -
I googled Traveler - Their German and to quote from here

I have had a Traveler 5.25 mega pixel Camera for about 2 months bought at Aldi for about £180.My main camera is a Nikon F5 which I use with a very exotic £1500 ultra wide Nikkor zoom.I was recently showing my employer some advertising photos for their cosmetic range which for convenienceI had duplicated on the traveler,and they preferred the Traveler versions! the images were superb,with natural colours and great resolution.However now both Li-Ion batteries have packed up,one only lasting two hours, and no one can find replacements .The battery code is BYD LP063450AR

So they might be pretty good.

The "I was recently showing my employer some advertising photos for their cosmetic range which for convenienceI had duplicated on the traveler,and they preferred the Traveler versions!" quote doesn't match the sample pics in the review posted above. It's nice, but hardly the quality of image expected in a 6.3 MP camera.

I'd save your money folks. A similar 2 or 3MP Canon is going to give you MUCH better pictures for the same price or less.

This camera apears to be quite similar to a few others. Perhaps rebadged version of the same thing.

It seems to be rather similar to these cameras:
Vivitar ViviCam 4000
the MINOX DC 6311

I apologize for not EMPHASIZING that the review was of a 3.3MP camera, and the quote was also of a lower resolution Traveler.
I did not even think that the educated Anandtech reader would compare a 3.3MP camera of any brand against a 6.3MP camera.
Please find a better review for all of us.
Based on a quick comparison of cosmetics the Traveler 6300 is very similar to the Vivitar V4000
