I have written about the Flip video camera before, and I guess that I should have known that when I stopped using mine, that it was a good sign of the future of the company. It is still the number one seller on Amazon.com.
The company that bought out Flip, namely Cisco Systems, for $590 million in only 2009, has just announced that they are shutting down the Flip video camera division. It shows you again how quick our modern digital world is, that a company has gone from zero to hero, to obsolete in four years and that’s it – the end of Flip video cameras, even as they just started getting marketed officially in South Africa for the first time!

the thing is, most cell phones have a built in video camera, are much smaller than the flip, and are in your pocket anyway. sure, a cell phone is not HD, but for how long???
