A new Flip Video pocket camcorder just store shelves, the "premium" Flip MinoHD. With a new design, larger screen and double the memory of its predecessor, this pocket cam can now record up to 2 hours of HD video.

Also, the new MinoHD includes the latest version of FlipShare software which can upload videos directly to Facebook. It has a bright two-inch transflective screen for no-glare viewing (even in direct sunlight), and features an HDMI jack.

The MinoHD is available with brushed metal finish, or you can choose from the tons of designs offered on their website. You can also custom design your own by visiting theflip.com.

The new 8GB Flip MinoHD is priced at $229. They have also lowered the price of the original Flip MinoHD (4GB - one hour of recording time) to $199. The standard Flip Mino sells for $149.

Flip Video just announced its new FlipShare software that makes sharing personal videos from your Flip camcorder easier than ever. With FlipShare you can publish your own personal video channels online with Flip Channels, as well as upload to MySpace and YouTube.

The new Flip Channels feature lets you share Flip content with the people you choose. Once you create a Flip Channel, their personal Flip Channels can be viewed online at FlipShare.com or on any iPhone (with the new FlipShare for iPhone app, available soon).

The new version of FlipShare software will begin shipping as the on-board software for all Flip Video camcorders today (June 16, 2009). The free software can also be downloaded by visiting www.theflip.com. The FlipShare for iPhone application will be available free in the iPhone App Store.Read more

Pure Digital's popular Flip camcorder has now gone HD. The company's new Flip UltraHD features two hours of recording time, a two-inch screen, 1280 x 720 resolution, 8GB memory, 2 x digital zoom and battery recharging through its built-in USB arm. A second generation standard-resolution (640 x 480) model is also available with 4GB memory.

Both new camcorders in the Ultra line come pre-loaded with FlipShare software that lets you easily organize, edit and share your videos. Just plug the built-in USB arm into your computer to share your videos on the spot.

The UltraHD is available in Black and White (with chrome trim) with an MSRP of $199.99. The Flip Ultra comes in Black, White, Yellow and Pink and sells for $149.

My prediction is this will be one hot seller…after all; more than 2 million first generation Flip camcorders have been sold since they were introduced…and that was less than 2 years ago!

By now you have a high definition (HD) panel in your home, either LCD or Plasma. You most likely enjoy watching HD content more than grainy non-high definition. Those home movies are still in non-HD, and you may be waiting for prices to drop for an HD camcorder to shoot home movies with, right? Well, wait no more …

Pure Digital Introduces Flip MinoHD as The World’s Smallest HD Camcorder. This camcorder is 3.3-ounces and fits right in your pocket. It is the size of most PDA cell phones, if not smaller. The resolution is 720p, which will display perfectly in 16:9 ratio television panels. The 4GB of internal memory will record up to 60-minutes (1 hour) of HD video. The little camera also has a 2x digital zoom, and a lithium ion battery that recharges when the USB arm is connected to a computer. The touch-sensitive buttons are intuitive, and you hold the camera just like a cell phone taking photos. Visit Pure Digital’s Web site for this product to learn more.
