Just read in the Metro tonight that they have produced a single use camcorder about the size of a packed of cigs for £16 which takes 20mins of footage (hmmm that's handy). Complete with batteries and small screen to preview video. 3 buttons to operate, save the footage or re-record over. Take into a shop and for £7 they will put it on DVD for you.

Link above to info but I can't find any online. Anyone heard about this. I can imagine it would make a great (and cheap) fun gadget for trackdays.

It's developed by Pure Digital Technologies in San Francisco, and you can only buy it in CVS (bit like Superdrug ) in the US.

Looks like they're working on hacking it for home extraction and re-use right now.

I'll take a look in the CVS store next time I'm in the US.
