6. All Talk
------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.apacer.com/apacer_english/product_html/image_steno_sv300.asp
This week we came across the Image Steno V300, an innovative USB flash drive that has an integrated digital camera. About the size of any other USB flash drive (95 x 26 x 14mm) the Image Steno is capable of taking more than 500 images and would be great for anyone who finds themselves taking pictures often and would like a very easy and small solution for a digital camera.
