Philips Demos Keychain-sized Camcorder

mateub writes "Philips gave PC Magazine an exclusive demo of the KEY019 USB camera/camcorder etc. Sez PCMag: 'You can use the 128MB of internal memory for 2.0-megapixel still shots, digital video, MP3 files, and document storage.' How long before we read the first story of some, um, inappropriate footage captured with one of these?"

"inappropriate footage"

How long before we read the first story of some, um, inappropriate footage captured with one of these?

Just as soon as I can buy one...

"How long before we read the first story of some, um, inappropriate footage captured with one of these?"

More importantly, how long until the torrent is posted?

Now you can store it safely

And record the people who decide to strip search you at the airport.

what we can't see...

[cliveholloway]

...is the whole camera. All the pics are close-ups. My guess is because it's actually about 2ft long and they don't want to scare us off.

cLive ;-)

Inappropriate footage

This is much more likely if they add a vibrator mode to the thing.

Also known as....

The crevice cam. All they need is an LED to self- illuminate.

Inappropriate footage??

Where?! Anybody got a .torrent??

Re:128 Megs...

[128 megs] Isn't nearly enough for the sex video!

Whoa, slow down there, pr0n star! Some of us have jobs, and lots of stress. 128 megs might easily store two or three...

So you're really saying that it's even more of a 'convergence product' than PCMag wants to admit, i.e. "the ladies will love it"...

Re:Notice they never mentioned the price

[irokitt]

"Honey, where's the video camera?"

"It's with the car keys."

(pauses to look for the car keys)

"Fsck!"

I will buy one of these.

[e9th]

If I had a nickel for every time I've said, "Damn, I wish I had a camera," I'd already have enough nickels to pay for the thing.

Re:what we can't see...

[Anonymous Coward]

I didn't read anything about a vibrate or massage mode in the products specs.

You read slashdot

[ad0gg]

We don't want to see inappropriate footage of solo acts performed in your basement.

duh

That's how they beta tested it.

So when does this sort of thing finally render the whole clothing gig hopelessly silly? Put the damned things on when they're actually NEEDED, and don't when they're not.

What the fuck is the Big Deal here?

The bluenoses have run things for SO long that we've come to take it completely for granted that the sonofabitches are actually RIGHT.

They're not.

Enough footage from devices like this and eventually everybody will saturate on the input, collectively shrug their shoulders over it, and get on with living their lives, minus one more retarded Cultural Imperialist bullshit item to put up with.

Not only will the emperor NOT have any "new clothes," it will be perfectly ok and people will need to have that little tale explained to them, even as they shake their heads in disbelief at the overarching stupidity of their forebears.

You're that naked guy from the radio show in Grand Theft Auto 3, right?

Not me!

I'd only look at a KEY019 for the articles!
