Zippo lighters are famous for lighting up even under the toughest conditions to light up the death sticks that nicotine addicts so crave, but it looks like the company decided to move with the times and include a digital camera into the lighter itself. This new model features a primitive camera that can take only VGA pictures in 640 x 480 resolution, but it is a start nontheless. The 64MB of built-in memory should be enough to hold approximately 30 pictures in the above mentioned resolution. The pictures can then be transferred over to the PC via a USB 1.1 connection. The digital camera is powered by a single AAA battery, but you can still use the lighter should the battery run out of juice. Pick up one of these lighters for $30 at Hot Gadget.
