Okay, so we know this version of the shuffle hasn't been on Apple's pages for a few weeks now, but there's still something curiously awesome about a shuffle with a camcorder. You know -- considering that the Cupertino-based company won't even add a video camera to the iPod touch. The Mini MP3 DV Cam, which is meticulously crafted by one Xiangyun Industry Co., Limited, seems to be a camcorder / camera alone, with no music playback functionality to speak of. Packing a 1.3 megapixel sensor capable of logging VGA-quality (640 x 480 resolution) clips, the device can also snag stills and store 'em on the user-provided memory card. The good news is that this gem costs just $15 to $30 depending on the amount you order; the bad news is the 100 item order minimum. Anyone down for a group buy? Bueller?[Via Red Ferret]
Hell Yeah!!!
Perverts everywhere rejoice.
HAZZZARR!!!
"The iPod Touch needs no cam! IT'S A GREAT GAMING PLATFORM!!!"
So let's leave it to the Nano instead... And modded Shuffles ^_^
You seem upset.
Nope, not at all =D.
I prefer the shuffle for gaming
I'm in for one.
YES! Let's make that Group Buy! Viva la Kirf !!!
I can't think of a singly illegitimate use for something like this.
I love the screen for video playback - you know to check if the recording was done right. :D
Somebody forgot to correct the pause/play button when they flipped the image for layout! :)
XD.....WIN
here's an idea - buy 100 units of this item then sold it to 100 to a person (or to 100 different persons) to get your money back.
Genius! Then I'll be left with no units for myself and with all the money I spent on it!
hopefully you have it aimed the right way or else you are going to have a ton of crappy videos when you try to take them off of this thing...
*considering that it has no screen
I really don't care about this thing but nice reference.
Guys, remember when Apple didn't add a camera to the touch?? HA HA WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT?
This is one of those long-term grudges, isn't it Engadget?
Looks like it's $15- 30 a pop with a 100-200 unit range...
So it's either 100 units at $30 ea or 200 at $15?
I'll take the 200.
Nice accessory to bring to a strip club.
some one didn't get the memo. i think its OK to watch strippers do their thing at a strip joint, there's no need to bring this unless you're planning on using the recorded content to wack-off when you get home, lmao.
here let me get you started on some better uses... put 10 of these in the girls shower/locker room yo.
someone**
Should of made it into a "great gaming device" xD.
If someone else is ready to organize 200 of us and accept payment, I will send you money to pay for two of them.
Who is going to play group account/purchasing agent?
Is this a KIRF or an upgrade? I can't decide.
Privacy is dead. The pervs have won.
Hey, I'm totally in. 5 down 95 (or 195) to go!
It looks thicker than an iPod Shuffle, not to mention it has a non-colored play button.
Well, I guess it wont be gaming anymore.
A potentially useful solution for private investigators especially in environments where long-lens camera work isn't an option.
I'd also be interested in one. Or two if enough people are buying to get them at $15.
Count me in - if anyone is going to organize an order please contact me
Count me in, I'm good for one. Let's do a group buy.
