I had some problems with modifying the time and date stamp and contacted the Sphere Gadget Technologies support by email. They responded within hours and walked me through my inquiry. They also came back with a follow up call to make sure my problem was fixed.

5 stars for standing behind their products!

This is a excellent hidden camera for the money. I've been looking around for one for a while and this has the most reasonable price for the spec. Here is what I have to say:

Pros -
lightweight: its weighs just like a normal pen
easy to carry around: no accessories needed. You don't even need the charger unit. It charges straight off a USB port
video quality: 640 x 480 pixels. The quality you usually see on youtube (non-HD vids). Runs at nominal 30FPS but reduces to 25FPS occasionally.
Compatible: it claims to be compatible with all PC, Linux and Macs... from what I've tried it works on Mac and PC and on the ipad as well. On the ipad the videos and images automatically uploads to your photo album.
Recording time: I've tried recording to the maximum and it does just over 1 hour and 25 minutes using up the complete 4GB of hard disk memory. The size of file varies depending on recording behavior.
Writes well: just like a normal pen
Camera well concealed: the pen itself is black, and the pinhole camera lens is dark enough to blend into the pen as one.
Solid construction: looks and feels well built
easy user interface: one button does it all.
Great value: as I've said, good for the money.

Cons -
lack of audio feature to abide with hidden camera regulations, only 4GB spec to choose from, light status can be confusing at times, needs to be fixed on vertically to capture images in correct orientation, cannot overcharge

What I wished - A HD version. Auto overcharge protection.

I'm not a 'techie' dude and I don't get excited over the latest gadgets. I prefer to chose technology to satisfy my needs.

This spy pen suits me perfectly.

I did my research online, and I didn't want to waste money on something that is unreliable, inefficient, or too costly. I've ended up getting the wrong products too many times buying things online, especially on ebay! Amazon is much better but you still can't slack off.

The portability, easy of use, and the quick start-up of this hidden camera is perfect for me. Anyone should know if you see something funny or worth recording, it ends in a split second before your camera records the first second of the moment. This product records within 1-2 seconds of start up. It's very easy to use - it has one single button only and it activates the recording by holding the button down, and mode changes with a series of short clicks.

I have no complaints.

I would recommend this to any of my friends or family. I love it!
