The stylish looking black ballpoint pen has hidden talents as it contains a pinhole video camera so small you almost can't see that it's there. The PenCam's intelligent design includes 2GB of built-in internal memory for storing your video. Viewing or copying the videos is easy, and you can connect the standard USB plug straight into your computer to view your movies. No special cables, no adapters, no drivers, no worries! What's more, you can use the USB port to recharge the pen's battery to give up to 90 minutes of video recording time before needing recharging again. The PenCam DVR is perfect for sales people, lawyers, law enforcement, mystery shopping, covert surveillance or internet fun. It's an affordable business person's accessory or a cool gift idea!

• Captures color AVI videos in 640 x 480 & still images in 1280 x 960 resolution
• Footage recorded on 2GB internal memory; 1 hour of video & 9,000 still images
• Integrated USB connector allows for easy video/image back-up
• Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery lasts 90 minutes on a full charge
• Built-in microphone

One could imagine how wobbly and nausea-inducing the video would be -- particularly while the pen is being used for writing! Still, this looks like a fairly impressive package with a lot of gear packed into the pen's barrel. Totally James Bond circa Octopussy.

What do you think, readers? A $99 gizmo that will never get used or a serious tool for "sales people, lawyers, [and] law enforcement"?
