Thanko USB Cam Watch - Spying and Sabotaging

Thanko - as a high-profile Japanese company that takes pride in pioneering all sorts of USB gadgets - is giving spy cam a shot. Most hidden cameras mimic as everyday objects (e.g. sunglasses, pen), and in this case, as an analog watch. The ever so small lens is positioned between the 1 and 2 o' clock, capturing video at 352x288 with audio in AVI through that pinhole.

Presumably, one of the knobs can trigger recording mode, but largely thanks to Thanko for embed the text in the image, Google Translate couldn't really help us out in telling what each knob does exactly. To get video off the 4GB internal storage, you need none other than USB which can fully recharge the watch's battery in 4 hours. In addition to being a spy camcorder (and a watch), the Thanko can easily turn into a tool to plant worms Trojans, and keyloggers in secured facilities with the USB flash drive function. We can say this USB gadget reveals a dark side of the Thanko empire.
