New WP action camera hitting the market.

[TallDude]

FYI,
 http://actionshotcam.com/shop/   They seem to be currently marketing them to kids, but they look like they will have an HD version out soon. They are being sold on the toy aisle at the large retailers. Half the price of a GoPro too......

WTF?  must be the packaging

Yeah. with no info on frame rate, we need to see actual picture quality th have any idea

and 2G is tiny, what is the biggest card it can address?

The Camera looks like it is the size of a wrist watch.
If it can be mounted to a head band, hat or visor that will be awesome.
Hope it is light. Yeah 2 gigs is nothing for video...but that is what comes with it.
Maybe it can take a 32 Gig Micro SD and run 2 hours if the battery last that long.
Better that GoPro, where you get your own SD.

There is a twitter shot through their site, picture looks good.

Does anyone else think this is a significant development not for the specs, battery life, etc. but rather for an HD camera retailing for under $100?
