01:00 -- My overall assessment in a nutshell.
01:24 -- Pen does not fully retract
01:41 -- Clasp poor quality and broke off
01:51 -- Cap does not come off easily (torn up)
02:04 -- Spiel on 'secret' qualities of the button/LEDs
02:56 -- Internal components
03:23 -- Pushbutton madness
04:12 -- Wrapup advice
04:30 -- Sample video from workshop
05:08 -- Wrapping up again

*UPDATE (07/19/2010)* The only visual evidence of video quality I have is @ about 04:30 there is a clip that the manufacturer took and left on the camera -- check that out for a representative sample. I would say video quality is 'decent' and 'on par' with comparable low-budget 640×480 webcams.

I finally got around to ordering a Spy Pen from http://dailysteals.com/. A DCX 8gb Spy Pen (USB, 640x480, rechargeable)... and man oh man is it the P.O.J. Extreme version. But wait - there's a nice hidden video that was already on the pen! Teehee! Don't buy one... please.

I also picked one up, same place, and it was broken right out of the box, I emailed them and they refunded my money.

Clip / sample of video quality @ 04:30

[rstephensonable]

@WideJuly -- sorry about the late reply.... but here goes:

The only visual evidence of video quality I have is about 40 seconds or so from the end of my spy pen review video there is a clip that the manufacturer took and left on the camera – check that out for a representative sample. I would say video quality is ‘decent’ and ‘on par’ with comparable low-budget 640×480 webcams.
