The new super-tiny Muvi Micro DV Cam is the smallest DV camera in the world. This ultra-portable digital video device measures no more than 5.5 x 2 x 1.6 cm (2 x 0.8 x 0.4 inches).

You can pop it in your top pocket, switch it on to sound activated record and not only will it be discreet, it won’t start recording until it hears over 65 decibels of noise. As soon as it goes quiet for longer than 2 minutes it will save the movie file and switch off again to save power. The integrated clip on the side of the camera means you can hook it on the side of just about everything.

The camera records at 2 megapixels, which is quite impressive for something this small and the resolution is 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second all of which is saved to micro SD card. The battery can be charged via any USB socket and will give you a decent 2-3 hours recording time.

hField Technologies has just launched a Windows Vista compatible version of the Wi-Fire, a compact high-performance long-range USB WiFi Adapter.

With its integrated high gain directional antenna and extremely strong receive sensitivity, this all new Wi-Fire now gives Vista users the freedom to connect to WiFi networks when they want, where they want.

Users benefit from the increased mobility and greater range with faster speeds in comparison to other standard WiFi adapters.

Wi-Fire provides interoperability with any 802.11 b/g access point and multiplies the effectiveness of wireless networks by allowing users to connect to a WiFi network from up to 1,000 feet—more than three times the range of other 802.11 adapters—often at significantly higher speeds, and even in locations where no wireless signal could be detected previously.

It’s only 3 by 4 inches and a sleek 3/8-inch thick, is small, easy-to-use, and folds up with its mounting device and USB cable for portability.

Retail price for the Wi-Fire USB WiFi Adapter is $79.00 and it is available now at the hField Technologies webite and from participating retailers.
