Video Surveillance Ink Pens

I thinking of buying a video surveillance ink pen like this one from Brookstone:

HD Video Pen

Does anyone here have any experience with a camera like this or maybe have heard feedback form someone?

Thanks,

Bill

You can get it cheaper on fleebay. video pen | eBay

granted it's from China, but I bought from China before on eBay and had no trouble it just takes like 15 days to receive your order. They are very cheap and not worth 80 bucks IMO.

I have several CCD cameras BTW.

They are really chunky, when you see them up close. The resolution quoted doesn't really seem much in the way of HD, and £50 or $80 seems overpriced, I saw them on sale for £40 locally.
But the one I saw was branded Swann and from a reputable dealer, so they at least work.
Although the local one seems to be lower resolution, looking at the specs.
