Excitement surrounds the new release of the Flip Mino video camcorder by Pure Digital as a major event in the progression of their ultra portable range of very popular small pocket sized video cameras. The new Flip Mino video camera is unique, smaller and more compact than predecessors in both the Ultra and original Flip camcorder ranges.

The whole concept behind these camcorders, and the factor that also allows for their miniature construction, is the fact that they use solid state internal flash memory to store the video recordings. Previously all camcorders used tapes or disks as the storage medium.

The 2 gb of flash memory in this diminutive video camera allows for 60 minutes of video recordings to be stored internally in the camcorder without the use of any other storage devices.

The new Flip Mino camcorder is really great fun to use and extremely simple to operate. Anyone who uses one of these little devices will always have fun with it wherever they go. They are purpose designed for the non-technical operator and just by touching the record button you can start recording.

The batteries are integrated in to the device and can be recharged and ready to leave home with you at any time. Just take it with you in your pocket wherever you want and always be ready to snap some great video footage.

This camcorder has been designed to be used with the top social websites like MySpace and FaceBook. Video recordings can be easily uploaded to your personal computer and then on to video sharing sites such as YouTube at the touch of a button. It is just so easy that anyone can do it directly via the concealed USB connector on the Flip Mino.

The Flip Mino records video at 30 frames a second which is displayed at a 640 x 480 VGA resolution on a new 1.4″ screen that has been designed to reduce glare. If you have a Mac computer you will be happy to know that the Mino is compatible and can also be connected direct to your television for instant playback.

For true pocket-sized portability and total ease of use you cannot beat the Flip Mino camcorder. It is also very affordable and means you can now have as much video fun as you want very cheaply. Record videos wherever you go and wherever you are and then share them easily with all your friends. Awesome!
