Yummy. Better than the endoscope, if you get good pictures.

Have fun recovering it

"iPill?". The "i" made famous by Apple originally stood for "internet", so what gives?

Not only good luck recovering this "pill," but also good luck swallowing it because it is almost a half-inch wide and slightly over an inch long. That is one big "horse pill."

Apple made putting i at the beginning of anything, cool so now all the marketing guys are nicking it to make their product look cool.

or perhaps you can up load it journey through your body to the internet or something and may be it was suppose to record videos so you can upload it to youtube.
May be it interactive or something., I do not know.

Very Cool! As a web site owner of safety and security products, among which are hidden cameras, this one takes "hidden camera" to a whole new level.

For a study at Cleveland Clinic, I took the "pill cam" for a preoperational check of the the Esophagus on Oct.26th,2009 and again, two days later, after my cardiac procedure. It was used to check for possible radiation burns which are possible, since the heart is so close to the Esophagus.
The pillcam was easy to swollow, and it worked wonderful.
WE watched pre-op pics in real time on a laptop as the camera took hundreds of pictures as it was traveling slowly thru the Esophagus.
Thankfully everything was fine, before and after my heart opreration.
For a pill to deliver targeted doses of medicine to patients with digestive disorders such as Crohn's disease,this is going to make Philips a big hit.
