    Same pricing as the GoPro's ($299 & $399) but WAY MORE FEATURES!!! GPS coodinates synced to your Garmin GPS unit. WiFi built-in for communicating via app with your Android smart phone or iPhone. This really looks cool. Wish they posted more specs though - specifically the lens FOV. Looks to still have some fish-eye so probably 170m like to GoPro's. Why can't camera manufacturers follow what Contour did and use 135mm FOV lenses???

    Might be worth a first-hand look :)

    But, it seems like it could be Jello production factory.
