Let’s face it, probably the only things that you will end up capturing on this hidden camera will be people photocopying, sitting in cubicles, making coffee and occasionally pilfering some office supplies. Or if you are smart, you could take all of your colleagues out for drinks, get them talking about the boss and use it to leverage your way to the top.
It holds 2GB of video and connects to your computer via USB.
I wouldn’t go as far as calling this a spy camera, it is pretty tiny, but an oversized roll of film definitely stands out. What it is, is more like a kind of sick joke, at the expense of poor, old, soon to be extinct film. It is after all, a roll of film that transforms into a digital camera.
Price: About $20 (only available in South Korea, for now) [Technabob via Coolest Gadgets]
Previously we showed a picture of the back end of the new Mac Mini and it sparked a few questions. As you can see from this video, the optical drive is located in the front of the machine (where one would naturally assume it to be). Seeing a video kind of dispels any notion that the spyshot was a clever piece of Photoshop trickery. The new Mac Mini looks to be the real deal. [Mac Rumors via BBG
The Lighter DVR from Ajoka is about the best spy cam inclusive device I have seen in a long time. People take lighters out of their pockets and put them on the table all the time, and the shape of the lighter will keep it in prime filming position because it can sit flat (unlike a pen). The only thing that gives the game away is the underside of the lighter where the microSD slot, switch, record button and USB port are clearly visible.
Hopefully, they incorporate some sort of rubber base to conceal all of the ports, otherwise, you better hope that it never falls over at an inopportune moment. The camera shoots in QVGA (640×480) at 30 FPS and incorporates a microphone. It can accept up to an 8GB memory card, and has battery life that is good for six hours.
Engadget China are claiming that this is Logitech’s new G18 gaming keyboard, which would make sense as a name except for the fact that by convention Logitech’s gaming peripherals have always had odd numbers. So, I am going against Engadget China and siding with Crunchgear’s Devin Coldewey on this one. It is probably the G19 and it most certainly looks hot.
note the full-color LCD screen top-center and the large complement of macro keys on the left. It does look like they have shrunk the sides a little, which is nice because the G15 was a touch too bulky for my tastes. Look for an official announcement at CES.
