The name’s Bond, James Bond. How I wish it was, but unfortunately it’s not. I know this because women do not faint around me (if only), my car cannot go underwater and I don’t know anyone by the name of “Q”. I do know someone by the name of “Z” but I don’t think that really counts as he’s only let out of the secure hospital every other weekend and he’s never invented anything of use unless it was made from matchsticks.
There are, of course, a few ways I can get closer to being Bond and, as that level of success with women is, frankly, out of the question there has to be something else. After all, there’s more chance of me buying an Aston Martin. And that just happens to also be out of the question. So what about a spy camera disguised as a Zippo lighter for $69.99? That’s more like it or, rather, at least it’s achievable.
The Pocket Spy Camera is not only an extremely compact camera but it is also capable of recording voice memos. So if you’re on a top secret mission and you just happen to remember that you’ve run out of milk or you’ve forgotten to set the DVD recorder to video the latest episode of the Simpsons you can record a reminder.

Capable of capturing images in either 640×350 or 320×240 resolutions, this spy camera comes with a “Quick shot” function that allows you to flip the top and automatically take a picture – which is very handy if you happen to be otherwise engaged – i.e., wrestling a mammoth python, or trying to get your Vodka Martini from one end of the bar to the other whilst avoiding spillages.
Not only that but the Pocket Spy Camera is also capable of taking a series of images at preset time intervals whilst in surveillance mode for up to 19 days – during which time, if you were Bond, you’ll have got jiggy with at least several hundred women, saved the world twice and patronised just about everyone you’ve met.
