Posted by michael on from the skirt-cam dept.

mateub writes "Philips gave PC Magazine an exclusive demo of the KEY019 USB camera/camcorder etc. Sez PCMag: 'You can use the 128MB of internal memory for 2.0-megapixel still shots, digital video, MP3 files, and document storage.' How long before we read the first story of some, um, inappropriate footage captured with one of these?"

    How long before we read the first story of some, um, inappropriate footage captured with one of these?

    Kinda depends on your definition of 'inappropriate.' Some guy clicks record and puts his keys on the nightstand before he beds Paris Hilton/Pam Anderson/Carmen Electra, etc.? Five minutes.
    Cops wire these puppies up with the 1" micro drives in the iPod-mini's and start an entirely new wave of invasive 'safety monitoring?' As soon as they can draw up plans and write an argument that'll claim it deters terrorism. Next week, maybe.
