The Flip Mino is deffiniley one of the coolest toys I have had in a while. This handy little device fits easily in any pocket or purse and the great thing about this gadget is the quality of the video and sound. I don’t even think the Nokia N95 will do it for me. Even though this camera has no wi-fi capability it is now carried everywhere I go. Even if it’s just out to the corner store, the camera comes. The Flip Series comes from a start up comany called Pure Digital based out of San Franicso. They sold over a million in their first year. They have come a long way and they deserve all the attention they get.

That’s precisely the point of Flip’s Mino, a cigarette-pack sized video recorder that’s basically built around a big, fat, red RECORD button: Better to have a cute video camera that you’ll toss into your pocketbook and use, instead of a big, complicated beast that stays home. Two gigabytes of internal memory provide 60 minutes of record time. A rechargeable battery lasts around four hours and a USB plug built onto the device lets you plug it in to a PC or Mac and automatically upload your riveting movies.” Time Magazine

If you are a media junkie like myself I highly suggest getting your hands on one of these devices! Be careful though to not buy the Ultra… it needs batteries and is 40% thicker than their newest model The Mino. What is one to do if they live in Canada though???? The Mino’s are not sold here yet… I can’t seem to find anywhere online that will ship THE MINO… I drove down to the states to get (well worth it) Sad but True
