Contour HD 1080p POV Camera

"For $329.00, $50 more than the 720p ContourHD, the ContourHD1080p seems worth the premium for those looking to tickle every pixel on their LCD, or to provide some high-quality POV footage of their endeavors to their energy drink sponsors. Image quality doesn't match what you might expect from a dedicated 1080p camcorder, but we don't think you'd have much fun with one of those strapped to your lid -- nor would you really want to try given they tend to cost 3x as much. That the internal microphone here still records nothing but a woosh at speed is a disappointment, but at least we can now modulate the volume of that woosh. "

A mountable POV camera could have a bunch of uses and be lots of fun for documenting the more extreme portions of our lives. Personally, I've recently taken up motorcycle riding and as I start to take some scenic rides (like say the Tail of the Dragon) it would be really neat to video the ride as a keepsake. What would you use a camera like this for?
