But it's far *more* wearable - you just clip it into a shirt pocket, or on to a shoulder strap for something else - the lens is above the top of the clip, so it just peeks over the top of your pocket. It's much *smaller* than the ucorder - these are pack-of-gum form factor, an inch shorter and noticeably narrower (not as wide as a whiteboard marker, say...) though from the looks of the ucorder (in particular the 3-LED interface and some other oddities) I'd guess they had a common chipset or even main board... I've actually handed it to tech-savvy people and had them not realize it was a camera at all, which makes it an interesting backup camera for hiking trips and such; at 4G the storage outlasts the battery, and they have the same slot (but not the "mini LED flashlight" of the ucorder.) These first got a lot of attention in early 2009 when the nytimes published an article about people using them to sniff PINs at subverted ATMs :-) Oh, the stuntcam isn’t quite the model I have after all – mine is still only 352 x 288, for some reason I thought it was higher, and http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Smallest-Camcorder-Built-Memory/dp/B001KK5ZHW/ claims 640×240 (which is admittedly an unusual size, but closer.)

Often used in conjunction with model aircraft since they are so small/light. I think wearing a camera that is directly at cleavage height is sure to get you into trouble.
