I honestly didn’t think that the Flip video recorder would make it big. I was wrong as the little cam now sells like hotcakes! Impressive huh. That even if the tiny camera sports only a 1.5 inch screen, takes only low res videos, and doesn’t have any memory slot, it still has made a lot of heads turn.
The little Flip gadget only allows a maximum of 60-minute recording if you have plans of becoming a YouTube star or making a short film. It’s nothing fancy really but it can be perfect for when you want to capture those sudden moments and your cellphone has ran out of batt.
The Flip currently has 13% of the market share and has fast become a hit among teenagers. Okay, I know you have your phone and your digicam but a small video recorder can always come in very handy.
