Big Barbie is Watching You!

It's all work and no play sometimes here at DigitalVersus. While supposedly relaxing in his secret underground bunker holiday villa, Vincent Alzieu, or 'The Boss' as we affectionately like to call him, is still hard at work scouting out the latest cutting-edge technological innovations ...


After recently treating us to a look at this high-tech Star Wars camera, Vincent has now stumbled across a version of the world's most famous doll with a built-in video camera. There's now no excuse for parents to behave badly when the kids are out of sight, as this innocent looking Barbie is ready and waiting to capture all of their exploits on camera.

In the interest of national security, we sent out team of undercover experts to dig up some dirt on this sly new spy. Our network of covert informers established that she has an internal memory of 256 MB and runs on two AAA batteries (not supplied, see manufacturer's website). Ringleader Mattel is, however, keeping the sensor's resolution and the battery life a closely guarded secret.

Barbie Video Girl will set you back £60, which, for your information, is over £20 more expensive than the Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000 webcam (5 stars).
