I like the concept, however it is just another highly nickable gadget on
the bike taking up precious handle bar space.

The thing does not look anywhere near water proof, what with all those
USB looking sockets at the back.

The internal battery lasts 4 hours at most, looks like its a recharge
ever day job. People like me would keep forgetting, or charging it and
leaving the unit at home.

The main function of this, is videoing what is going on behind you, yet
it does not store the video, I think that facility would be a major
bonus. (As someone who cycles with a camera). IT would also be great if
it had a front viewing camera as well.
I would also like to see the thing in action in poor light, and at
night, to see what the image was like.
