A team of five guys in New Hampshire have developed and are now selling the MiVeu, a wearable, iPhone-holding harness that can be strapped to your chest, lower torso or even your leg. The get-up, which protects your iPhone in a housing that also slaps a custom-designed fisheye lens on it, seems aimed squarely at the GoPro crowd:
Parts of the video are pretty shaky, compared to the smoothness of the GoPro vids we've seen, and we're not sure if MiVeu's was filmed using the iPhone 4 or 4S. The 4S offers superior image stabilization, meaning if that's what these videos were shot with, the GoPro looks like it wins that round.
The MiVeu, however, is clearly able to compete on price; for those who already own an iPhone, it's just $80 to get into a MiVeu, versus the $149 for the least-expensive GoPro. Let the competition begin. No matter who comes out on top, we viewers will get to witness a lot of cool video while they battle it out.

Looks great, but wouldn't have faith in this to keep my phone in one peice as I wipe out and "Klinsman" long the floor on my chest. Looks like the cover would unclip if caught in a certain way?
