Today’s technology section of the New York Times led with a review of or dear (for some) little Flip camera. David Pogue discovered some of its great advantages (plug & play video) and some of its hurdles (yeah, Codecs and the darn button that won’t turn on). I emailed him our class project so hopefully he’ll take a look at our journey with the Flip since he probably didn’t go as far as Brian did — taking apart the camera to explore the mic — and Kirk’s how-to videos are great resource for Flip fans all over. And most of all, I hope he enjoys our five shorts documenting how technology is making the media flip.

Seems like a neat little device. I like the fact that it has software built in that you can run from the camera. I hate always having to install software to do something. It would be cool to be able to take it to any computer and still be able to use all of the features. Plus not having to always carry a usb cable is a huge advantage.
perhaps most amazing about that article is the statistic: Flip has 13% of the camcorder market???? The camera I just bought to shoot Independent America part 2 probably has a fraction of a percentage (the Sony EX1). I’m glad we all decided to remain with the Flip during our tech decision-making process in class (despite the pain in post-production).
