Has there been any progress on battery life? I'm rather surprised I can't even find a reliable source of audio-only recording that is as convenient and useful. I had a system with a recorder I ordered off of thinkgeek, but it was rather crappy and lost data. I've tried with my android, but it eats up battery life. There don't even seem to be any good phone conversation recorders, at least for the Nexus.

There is a project on kickstarter that seems to be quite a bit better than the looxcie, called Zion Eyes, but they only have ~3 hours of battery with the note that: 'Aftermarket plug in battery packs are available to extend the battery life.'

Has anyone messed with the fitbit? I know it isn't for video recording, but it sounds pretty good on paper. I've found that the withings scale is a damn good modern way to track weight without having to do your own spreadsheeting.

If there is a more recent conversation about this, I will happily go there. This is just the first thing to turn up material from this year on the subject via the google.
