It's hard to get much cooler than that. Oh! Wait never mind...it would be cooler if it were actually, uhh...useful. But as far as pure "are you serious they can do that?" awesome goes...this comes in pretty near the top. It'll cost you, though: $332 for a camera that, in the end, probably won't take very high quality pictures. Via TreeHugger

If you don't think it's useful...

...wait till cheaters start using it to ace tests nationwide.
In a pen!?

While it is true that one application could be cheating on a test, it seems like a high price to pay for an A.
But seriously.. A PEN? that is some James Bond stuff right there!
I agree

For the do-it-yourselfer, it doesn't get much better than this sort of espionage equipment.

Not too long ago, similar arguments were used against in-phone cameras. I can't wait to get hands on one. I want to be 007. Q makes the coolest toys.

Science, technology gadgets and...baby seals. We're in a bit of an eco-mess, but we've got the brains to lick any problem. And that's why EcoGeek.org publishes up to ten stories daily about innovations that are saving the planet.
And if that sounds interesting to you, then congratulations, you're an EcoGeek.
I like that I live in a world where this is possible. It's a pen, which has a camera in it, and which is powered by a low wattage solar panel. When photos are taken, it wirelessly transmits the photos to a nearby base station (a digital medial player (also shown.))
