Ironically, my wife wouldn't be caught dead in these partly because she has her own defined style and partly because she's not into gadgets like I am, but I would buy them like I wrote above for vacation-esque purposes.

Sounds like it was a flop regardless, but I do think the 'techy dad' market is viable at the right pricepoint. Not sure how the social aspect would work out, but if it had a red LED running when it was recording I doubt anyone would mind.
