Flip video – a new way to share pics and video on your computer – reviewed by NY Computer Help

Pure digital has produced a new device that takes high resolution pictures and videos.  The novelty with it is its small size and it has a USB interface connected to it so you can use it like an external hard drive to transfer images and videos over to your PC or Mac.  You don’t need any software.  Just take the video or picture and plug it in.

Now for the specs.  It takes up to 60 minute recording time and has up to 2GB of space.  Compatible with PCs and Macs, this may be automatically updated to YouTube directly or prepared for publishing elsewhere.  Pick orange, yellow, pink, white, or black as your camera color.  At $179.99, this gadget gets our thumbs up as a cool, portable, easily-shareable camera.
