The Looxcie (LOOKSEE) video camera is a combination Bluetooth earpiece and video camera rolled up in one. There is a IOS4 app that allows you to control, capture and share your video using your iPhone 3GS and 4. Position the Bendable Earloop over your ear and adjust the camera so it points to where you are looking. Use your iPhone as your viewfinder to make sure that your Looxcie is level and pointing where you are looking. You can adjust it to wear on either your left or right side and it comes with multiple earbuds to give you the best fit for comfort and function.

This product has had some great reviews and I can see some instances that it would be nice to have it available. However, it is a bit pricy at $199 but if you have the extra cash available and some real uses then it could be a good addition to your gadget list.
They have some great video on their site and more detail on how to set it up and use it. If your interested in this product you will definitely want to take a look at this.
