Another wonderful feature of the camera is the built-in ‘Auto Rotation G-Sensor’, as stated that it is known to improve the camera capability to capture the best shot, no matter its position.

It might be a better option than a GoPro!

Okay, now THAT'S sweet!!!

Any video samples online yet?

Not found any yet, it has only just been announced. Looking at the spec and pricing it seems promising. I hope the test videos are good. Would like to get one on order soon.

Battery time ?

The autorotation G sensor can be switched off (good). Only negative is the 'dual file' recording cannot be switched off. So every recording uses nearly double the space required on the sd-card.
A 1080p recording automatically generates a 432 x 240 - " for uploading to websites or sending email"

Do you mean fishy = 'too good to be true' ? If so, yes I agree. It has a good spec and the price is less than half of a GoPro. I would like to seen an independent review before ordering.

Fishy = fish-eye distortion. Still good value for money though.

yes, it is a 170 deg lens. It looks like there could be an option to change the lens with an aftermarket one.
140 deg would be better.

GoPro white is $199 and weighs 73g without the case. Specs are similar.

Well I would suggest you upload the videos in 1080p otherwise pointless.
