Looxcie
$200.00
Released September, 2010
The Pros:Internal storage for up to 5 hours of footage. Displays live video and can be fully controlled by compatible smartphones (via Bluetooth). USB and Bluetooth connectivity.
The Cons:Unintuitive button interface for when used without paired smartphone. Video quality is lacking - 480 x 320px at a less-than-smooth 15fps. Fit is not so tight, needs readjusting often.
The Looxcie is a wearable, Bluetooth-compliant digital camcorder that can be worn over-the-ear for on-the-go video recording and transmission to social networks. Capable of capturing content in an HVGA resolution, the unit stores everything in MP4 (4GB internal memory).

However, once five hours of material has been captured, old material is immediately purged to make room for new content. Key to Looxcie is the Looxcie App, a smartphone-compatible application that can be used to view, edit, and share videos on the go. Plus since a microphone is included, the Looxcie can also be used for making handsfree phone calls.
