Twin Video Pocket Camcorder

Well here’s an interesting device.   Remember the “self portrait” camera, in which Samsung put a small LCD screen on the front of a digital camera, thus eliminating the guess work in properly framing a picture at arm’s length?   Well, building on the concept of including the camera operator as part of a picture’s subject, Ion Audio has announced a portable pocket camcorder that records both in front of and behind the device.

Dubbed the Twin Video, the camcorder boasts front and back lenses capable of simultaneously recording both video streams to either a standard SD or SDHC card.   Built-in video effects include the ability to record video in split screen or picture-in-picture modes, making it ideal for documenting your next impromptu celebrity interview.   It’s dual microphones capture stereo audio and offloading the video to a PC before uploading it to YouTube is easy via USB.   While a price hasn’t been set and technical details are sparse, the Twin Video should release by the end of Q2 2010.
