The Flip Video is a simple camcorder for digital video. The high definition version captures video at 1280 x 720 resolution using H.264 video compression, AAC audio compression and the MP4 file format. It is simple to use, providing automatic gain, digital zoom, monaural sound, and a very simple clip-navigation interface with a D-pad and two control buttons. The Flip Ultra comes in 2GB (Standard) and 4GB (HD) models for $179.99 and $249.99 respectively. The best part is that it’s designable, so you can add you own personal style.

Flip for Good. Imagine the impact that video would make if every nonprofit organization had a camcorder to share its stories. For every 7 camcorders sold with a Shared for Good design, Flip Video Spotlight will donate a camcorder to charity. A portion of the proceeds also supports a non-profit or charity. I asked for one for my birthday, can’t wait to start sharing my style tips via video!
