  A pen with built in recorder was available with one of the Bond part works some years ago, not sure hold long it would record for though.

  Over 10 years ago when the 007 Files magazine came out there was an offer of a free voice recording pen if you subscribed. I was incredibly annoyed that my mother (who was paying for the copies of both my brother and myself) refused to set up a subscription, only an order with WHSmith's.
  A couple of year's later I was thrilled when I managed to acquire one. I also had one that was a fake mobile phone. To my disappointment neither gadget worked particularly well. They could only record for about 30 seconds and it was terrible quality. My only other 'gadget' type items have been several types of invisible ink pens and revealers. These are really the only kind of cheap gadgets you can get.

  Relax darling, I'm on top of the situation -{

  As a kid I had a pair of Clarks shoes with a compas in the heel, If that counts. )

  I bought the instant slushie maker yesterday and it works like a charm Bond would love one of those after a long typical 007 day

  Well, you could argue Bond has a cell phone--mobile for you Brits--in 1963's From Russia with Love, so the answer is yes.

  In the 1954 film Sabrina, H Bogart had a phone in his Limo.
  So I'm guessing Bond had something similar, Which was a Radio Phone.
  Basically a two way radio as a Taxi would use.
  The first Propper Mobile phone was made by Motorola In 1973.
  Although I do have a Sony/Ericsson k800i from CR, use it everyday. B-)

  Have never bought a gadget but remember using one of my uncle's cigar cases as a THUNDERBALL re-breather when I was a lad. I wasn't daft enough to go underwater with it, though. )

  This reminded me of a highlighter pen I had which had two small "breathing" holes in the middle. This was my TB re-breather Worryingly though, I began to notice that the amount of highlighter in the pen was going down whenever I used my "re-breather". I was never quite sure what the highlighter ink was made out of and was a tad concerned it might be harmful. In retrospect, whatever it was it couldn't have been harmful in such a small quantity and even if it had been, it didn't stop me using it as a re-breather )
