Default GoPro Camera Deal (I don't work there - this isn't spam)

So here's an idea that I've had for a while...

Take something like the GoPro and split it into 2 devices. A tiny camera module that can be clipped to your glasses or elsewhere and the rest in a box big enough to hold a 10 hour battery and enough room for the processor to have a decent heat sink.

What I find annoying about the current trend in products is that everyone is trying to make stuff a inexpensive (cheap!) as possible. There's so many times that I see something I like, but wish I could find a version for 10, 20, 30 dollars more that's actually quality.

I've bought a couple FauxPro cameras for less than $60. Each came with at least $50 worth of accessories! They work OK, but the videos are "meh". Good enough to watch on a small screen at a distance - 32" TV across the room. But suck on a big screen.
