Head-mounted waterproof USB Camera goes where no geek has gone before
The fine folks at Thanko grace us with yet another seemingly impractical yet useful device with the new USB Underwater Video Camera. Although the tiny camera effectively records video at 320 x 240 pixels, it won't record any audio.
With an included head-mount strap (for that extra nerd aesthetic touch), the camera will shoot up to 3 hours when fully charged after which you can use the Gom Player software to watch the video on your Windows PC. Perfect for recording bike rides through the city or capturing the fascinating scenes of undersea life, the device costs a mere 12,800 yen ($135) here.

YES! That's exactly what I've been looking for to video tape my bike ride to share with friends/family. It's an awesome price too but I just wish the image wasn't so tiny.
