A few months back we did a exhaustive story on some of the sneakiest Spy Gadgets and Spy Cameras, which included a Digital Spy Camera Pen.  So, when we heard about this particular Digital Spy Camera from Gadget Universe, which costs a mere US $59.95 we were quite excited to share  it with you all. But, unfortunately the excitement was short lived.

The Digital Spy Camera Pen features 2 MB memory, which can store 36, 160x120 images, auto focus, auto shut off and a battery life of up to 500 pictures and images.  It also weighs pretty much like a regular pen at 69 gms. So, it does sound exciting.

Unfortunately there are two things which spoil the fun with this otherwise cool spy gadget. One, it makes a clicking noise when you take a picture  (doesn't it defeat the whole purpose of taking spy shots? and puts you in the risk of getting caught) and Second, it requires a RS-232 cable and port, it does not work with a USB cable. Too bad. It did look like a good deal.
