The MovieStick can’t be found in the new James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace, but it wouldn’t be out of place if it was.
About the size of a pack of gum and weighing less than an ounce, Swann's miniature spy camera ($119.99) can shoot digital video and stills. Images are stored on a removable microSD memory cards for easy transfer to a PC for uploading, editing or archiving. A 2GB microSD card, for example, can record up to 2.5 hours of video on the MovieStick (high-capacity cards aren’t supported).
While we haven’t yet tested the device, The MovieStick's video quality is said to be comparable to a cell phone as it uses the 3GP video format and delivers an image resolution at 176 x 144 pixels (for both video and stills).
The built-in lithium battery can be recharged via a USB port located on the bottom of the MovieStick.

Consider also the "Flycam 2", which is (I think) almost as small and has a resolution of 640x480.

Where is this available? Maybe it did not appear in the Bond Flick because Swann has not listed it on their site...What's the big secret?

Well that's pretty crummy resolution for both video and stills--very 20th century, as a matter of fact. I guess you mean it would have been appropriate in the original Bond flims.

I have one of these ya it's cell phone quality at best. I got it off ebay. But I was disappointed with it's quality compared to the spy pen I bought on ebay before it which has amazing pic quailty compared to the gum pack size camera.

Whats the big deal about this spy cam? There are far superior comparable so called "spy cams" or "pen cams" or "pen sticks" or what have u out there that are much better quality etc. and more features for about the same price or a little more.. Im wondering what aspect of this is such a big deal which is originally articles by Mr. Saltzman. Is it the fact that its cheap or something?

Geoff you are quite the speller alright. Mamma mia. haha. Wait a sec. How is it a xmas gift for the wife? Isnt it more a gift for yourself to catch her if shes cheating on u? haha. U r not making any sense with what u have written in your blog to be honest. U dont look too bad in bed? Are u gay or are u maybe attracted to yourself? It would be the first Abnormal disorder Psychology every know to man yet..
