My problem is that I regard the Revue (and the photo thingy Gordon Bell uses) as being hilariously awful. It isn't worth considering for a second. That anyone thinks that they can sell it is symptomatic of how terrible the market for lifelogging devices is.

The Vicon Revue costs 500 pounds, excluding VAT; or >$800.

And that gets you something far more useless than, say, the uCorder I linked which costs an order of magnitude less. Not half as much, or a third as much, but an entire order. For that much, I could just buy 5 or 6 uCorders, or buy 1 and hire a local college student to hook it up to an external battery, and still have a ton of money left over.
