I just ran into the website of a company called Endoacustica Europe, they are Italians so I guess they do not speak "Engrish" (actually they do have a website in proper English, so communication does not seem to be an issue), and there are several models of spy pensand micro video recorders. Interesting place for spy gear and for some privacy-related items…

I would have to charge it to use it again….. but I think you hold down the button and the light lights up then you push it again to take a photo. I never did get a video to work

Did you ever figure out how to use it? I just got one and all ican get it to do is stare at me with the orange/bluish light. It will not blink after pussing the button, if I plug it into my Windows XP computer…nothing happens. Nothing shows a connection.

Engrish. Heh. Good one!

I bet the instructions also came in incredibly tiny font and the paper it was written on the size of a postage stamp!

Heheh. Things like this, though are why I can’t use my own writing utensils at professional exams any more. They have to provide us with our special “exam approved” pencils.

I bought one of these in march. I can not for the life of me figure out how it works. The instructions are “engrish”.

Here is the beginning:

1. In closes down and under the readiness for action, presses the button short according to the pattern switch, enters the corresponding condition (photograph pattern or video pattern).

my favorite line:

Note: The record document recommendation use “the wind and thunder video and music” broadcasts.
