Mini MP3 DV Cam Gives The iPod Shuffle Video Capability

While leaving video out of the iPod touch had everyone up in arms, nobody expected Apple to add a camcorder to the shuffle. Leave it to the Chinese to fill that enormous void with the Mini MP3 DV Cam.

Of course, even the miniest of mini camcorders cannot be crammed into the shell of an existing shuffle, so Xiangyun Industry Co did the sensible thing and sacrificed the music player to focus on transforming the device into a spy camera. Features include a 1.3MP sensor with VGA resolution and the ability to capture 1280×960 still photos. Not bad for $US15-$US30, but you are going to need to outfit an entire spy ring if you want to get your hands on one. Orders are only taken in bulk with a 100-unit minimum.
