If you've ever wanted to see what your shirt pocket sees, the

uCorder IRDC250

wants to make your acquaintance. This

tiny light-weight and viewfinder-free pocket video camera records

VGA video to an on-board 2GB of storage, expandable with microSD cards. For students or conference goers, it means you can get a visual frame of reference for your audio recordings in lectures. While you won't be recording high-quality video (and you can't view said video until you're able to plug the cam into your Mac or PC), it beats an audio-only recording. Did we mention it can also do audio-only recording?
