Review: Flip MinoHD By Robert Mohns (December 12, 2008) Introduction The Flip MinoHD is the latest product from Pure Digital Technologies, an upstart company that has turned the camcorder market on its head with its family of digital camcorders. The Flip concept is simple: a tiny, handheld video camera reduced to its essentials. As compact as an iPod, it has no tapes and needs no FireWire - it records directly to integrated flash memory, pops a USB jack out the top, and mounts on your Mac's desktop with standard MPEG-4 video files ready to use. The original $130 Flip appeared in 2006, under the awkward name "Pure Digital Point & Shoot." in 2007 it was renamed to the Flip Video. In late 2007, the $150 Flip Ultra added higher quality video, more memory, and a variety of colors - and over the following year, took 13% of the camcorder market! In June of 2008, Pure Digital introduced the even smaller, sleeker, $180 Flip Mino. The $230 Flip MinoHD, introduced last month and reviewed here, offers true 720p HD video with the Flip's defining ease of use in the same tiny size. ... http://www.macintouch.com/reviews/flip/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
