Spy Pens don't work on a MAC but you can view the Video file on a MAC by transfering the video file from PC to a MAC with a USB memory stick then you may need to download VLC Media Player for MAC to view the AVI file

reset button

The reset button does work but you need to get it right.

Use a paperclip and insert at right angles. press firmly, but not too hard. You will feel a click.

That is it.

Any tips on making it work on a Mac?

It comes it different resolution, most common is 352x288 but there is a 640x480 now available. the other important info is the fps (frames per second). It can vary from 12 to 24 fps(best). Get more info at:

Got one months ago

Shipped from Hong Kong, if I recall correctly.

It works well, although the video codec used isn't supported by Windows Media Player (and the driver CD I got had nothing of any use on it). Things like MPlayer work fine.

Works fine as an ordinary memory stick on a PC, but when I try to plug it into a Macbook Pro, it isn't recognised and it locks the pen up completely - you have to let the battery go flat before it'll work again (reset button doesn't help).

And, yes, you can write with them, although they're a bit fat and heavy to be completely inconspicuous. The little blue light needs a bit of tape over it too if you wanna be stealthy!

what if you are in America

I want one, but I can't see having it shipped overseas.

True pen?

Can it actually write? It would look really stupid to have a pen that cannot write :)

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
