My new Mini0806 arrived yesterday and this is one nice dashcam! I ordered the GPS version from Amazon.de (Germany) for €165 branded under iTracker. It came with a lot of extra bits including a magnetic polarized lens filter and a hardwire dual USB connection.
Update - This is also branded under the name iTracker or Amacam.

Review -
The Mini0806 has 135° wide angle glass lens, 2304x1296/30fps frame rate, parking mode, motion detection, and two micro SD card slots for a maximum of 256Gb of memory. I'm only using a single 32Gb micro SD card (which is good for about 8-hours of recoding) so I may pick up a micro SD WiFi card just to try it out. Unlike other dashcams, the Mini0806 includes a 3.5 meter long USB power cord, not the bulky 12V cigarette plug, and it came with a dual-USB cigarette adapter so it was ready to go right out of the box.
In addition to its small size the other feature I really like about the Mini0806 is the mounting system which uses a "hot foot" design. This means the power cord plugs into the mount and not the camera so you can easily remove the camera and put it in another vehicle (or stash it in the glove box) while leaving the mount and power cord in place. The mounting pad is about 1.5" x 1" so it's really small and discrete. With black double-stick adhesive it hides quite well on the windshield. One of the differences between this camera and the previous versions is the ability to "flip" the camera 180° and adjust the menu control accordingly.
The mount has two power points so you can rotate it 180° and still have the power cord at the top. Because of the tight space behind the mirror, I have located mine high up on the windshield on the passengers side. Since the entire camera body can rotate, it was pretty easy to get the correct vertical angle. To accommodate the curvature of the windshield, there are some small wedges provided to offset the horizontal angle, but for now I'm just going with it "as is" out of the box.

Battery Repair & Replacement -
Like many dashcams on the market today, the Mini0806 uses a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery. As these camears get older, these batteries will failed due to the chemisty of the LiPo battery. As you can see here, the normally rectangular silver battery capsule has ballooned to at least three times it thickness.

Beeping Sound -
One of the less published failures modes of the Mini0806 is a tripple beep when the SD Card needs to be formatted. It will also put an error message on the screen. You can watch this YouTube where my wife encountered this sound as was trying to figure out where it was coming from -
