Flip Video Doubles Memory in Face of Nano Threat
Remember when Apple CEO Steve Jobs showed a photo of the low-cost Flip Video camcorder prior to announcing the iPod Nano would get a 640×480-pixel camera? No? Well, Flip Video does. Wednesday, the company released an updated version of its Mino HD camcorder with double the memory and a spiffier look.
The Mino HD will ship with 8GB of memory, up from the previous 4GB. The camcorder also includes a HDMI-out so it can be hooked-up to high-definition TVs. The device also gets a better screen (along with a size boost from 1.5-inches to 2-inches) for outdoor viewing, plus a brushed aluminum case.
Along with the hardware upgrade, the Mino HD camcorder will now come with software enabling owners to share clips on Facebook or YouTube.
Possibly most telling, the updated HD device is priced at $230 and the standard Flip Video remains at $200 – the same cost of Apple’s 8GB Nano.
