In this crazy multifunction world of ours, there seems to be no end to the ingenious ways we can combine functions in one device. We’ve had flower basket fruit peelers and coffee making headphones, so we shouldn’t be surprised with this new gadget.

The HD Power Bank Spy Camera offers the glory of both re-charging your phone or tablet, with the fun and excitement of taking covert photos and video of people you wish to track. What could be better? Now they could have made a dummy power block, but they didn’t. Nope, this puppy comes with a full 3000 mAh battery inside, as well as a 5 megapixel CMOS camera.

The result is a product which can not only charge up your phone a couple of times in the field, but can also shoot at 1280×720 30 fps in AVI format. How useful we’re thinking. The sneaky little thing recharges via USB and costs $48.
