You could power it from a USB mini plug, though I think you'll probably lose the watertight integrity once you plug in under the rubber cover. If that makes sense. I presume you'd be on continuous "overwrite" with the memory card, tho'.
Good sturdy camera, used one for six months, just a wee bit more bulky than a GoPro thang. Nice image stabilisation. I have mine mounted on the mirror stem, surprisingly good image.

Edit: here's one I made earlier, but bear in mind the lens was covered in heavy rain.

You could shrink a tube of electrical-shrink on the back of the Virb which would prevent all but a downpour from affecting the unit?

The picture quality is even better on HD format, but I only have a crappy broadband connection, so I have to upload at low-res.
