5 of the best miniature gadgets

Looxcie 2 £200
The first camcorders rested on your shoulder; 28 years on they nestle on your ear. The Looxcie 2's discreet form makes it ideal for 'lifecasting', which involves recording all it sees on a non-stop, five-hour loop at 320p resolution. A single click will save the last 30 minutes' footage to your Bluetooth-connected phone, while an extended push will upload it to Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. Non-voyeurs may prefer the traditional click-and-record mode.
