tripod solution-
It's made by Sunpak it's called the Versipod.It's a tripod for mini cameras and camera cell phones. I have the DSC-t1 and found this at fry's electronics today. It only holds the camera vertically but you can tell by the pictures i attatched the tripod can swivel to take horizontal pictures. If you don't have a fry's electronics nearby here is a link to the tripod on thier site:

the link is down right now but try again later it worked this morning for me.
They sell it for ONLY $13.95. Shipping is about $5.00. It works great, the case that comes with it is close to worthless though but who cares. And the clamping unit can be attatched to a larger tripod with no problems.
Sorry for the whole review, but I was excited to find it.
I got mine from the Fry's Electronics in Garland Texas, they have 13 more from what they told me.
sorry for the crappy pictures but i had to use a camera phone to snap the shots of the camera already mounted.
first two shot show the camera on the tripod that was included:
