If you regularly upload videos to You Tube or if you have ever wanted to dabble with making your video content assessable to the wider public via similar user content sites then the up and coming Flip Video Camcorder could make capturing and uploading those must share moments (feeding my cat, cat asleep, etc) a breeze.
Manufactured by Pure Video, the Flip Video Camcorder not only offers built in You Tube compatibility but it also serves as a highly portable device that can easily be slipped into a bag so as to ensure that some of the greatest moments in humankind’s history need never go undocumented.
The Flip Video Camcorder offers the ease of one touch recording, however, on account of its basic 2x zoom and either 30 or 60 minute recording capacity – dependent on model – it will hardly serve as a replacement for your high spec camcorder – but, in fairness, that is hardly within the Flip Video’s remit.
At the time of writing little is known concerning the full specifications of the device – such as video resolution (though the fact that this comes with You Tube compatibility may certainly serve as an indication in this respect) – though it is known that the 30-min storage capacity model will retail for $120 with the larger capacity 60 min capacity Flip Camcorder weighing in at $150).
Incidentally, if the Flip Camcorder doesn’t quite do it for you, but you are interested in a similar device aimed at You Tubers and video bloggers, you may be interested in the Sony Net Sharing Cam which has the Flip firmly in its sights.

Mother’s Day is coming soon and this looks like it would be a perfect gift. I’m a bit hesitant because they don’t post the specs, though.
