This sounds really interesting, although I have serious misgivings since Kodak is still best known for its film-based cameras.  Can it really compete in the HD Video Cam arena?

The picture shows a really simple interface that even kids can work, and it’s pink.

That’s the only reason I’m even remotely interested.  Sorry, but the Mino’s still got my vote.  I haven’t checked the specs, though, so don’t mind me.  I’m completely bias.

If you’re still interested, you can pre-order this baby for $179.95.

Now that nearly everyone on this planet is into video blogging, what better way to do it than with a slim, convenient camcorder you can use to shoot anywhere, any time?

Presenting, Pure Digital Technologies’ sleek and smooth digital camcorder: the Flip Mino.

Like its older brother — Flip Ultra — this sexy baby brings video recording to the streets. At only 3.94 inches high, 1.97 inches wide and 0.63 inches thick, taking the Mino anywhere can be a breeze. Plus it’s got the same 2GB capacity as the Ultra, guaranteed to hold at least 60 minutes of your video clips.

Though approximately $30 more expensive than the Ultra, the Mino actually offers a few upgrades. Instead of the AA battery and chunky buttons, the Mino sports a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and touch-sensitive buttons. It also boasts of an omni-directional microphone — a step up from the Ultra’s wide-range version.
