Philips Key019 Key Ring Camcorder
"The 1.6 oz. Philips KEY019 is roughly half the size of a mobile phone, but it packs the functionality of four devices: a MPEG-4 camcorder; a two mega-pixel digital still camera; a MP3 player; and a USB flash drive. Additionally, the KEY019 sports a Kopin’s 0.16-inch color display with 133,578 pixels – the smallest LCD display to date. This is especially important for a small display, as the KEY019 is only 1.2-inch wide. The original USB interface also recharges the battery in addition to files uploading. It has capacity for twenty-five minutes of video, 200 still pictures, or 128MB of assorted file types." Well, Gizmodo is reporting that Amazon has actually started selling this the camcorder that is a 'flash drive-cum-video cam-cum-MP3 player that happens to have a really slick little integrated LCD display' for $250.

I've got one of the earlier iterations of this device (just a USB thumb drive and camera). I really like it. It is small enough that I always have it. Great for those spontaneous pics when you normally are not carrying a full size camera.

What is the quality of the images? Is it something like what a camera phone would produce or is it better?

See for yourself
Better than my camera phone. Their new camera is a higher MP, so should be better. |

Anyone else smell industrial espiognage boom coming up? :lol:
I feel sooo lucky not having to work in the securtity business anymore.  Confiscating cameras with this size would be a major problemo. :roll:
The picture quality isn't that bad, I can clearly see DMT on Goldkey's screen. :wink:

My beta, Sushi, I think it is cruel that people keep them in those little tiny bowls. |

And on a more constructive note: I had their old USB stick cameras in my hands many times, but not having a screen always scared me off. The size is a plus, especially since my cell phone does not have a camera, and my digicam is too heavy to carry around for the event that I MIGHT see something I want to take a picture of, so now it seems like THAT problem is solved.
The only thing is: buying a 200$-128MB-2 megapixel camera nowadays..?!
