Pure Digital—makers of the popular Flip video cameras and new Cisco acquiree—have introduced new versions of their Ultra and Ultra HD video recorders, featuring twice the memory, bigger screens, and AA battery packs that simplify recording video on the go.
When news outlet widely reported over a month ago that the Flip compact video camera had captured a whopping 13 percent of the camcorder market on its own, executives at Creative must have been listening – or at least rubbing their hands and waiting to show off their own version. The company’s latest release, the Vado, bears an uncanny resemblance to the Flip in both form and function.
The Vado takes on the same deck-of-cards-sized form factor that made its predecessor a success, and weighs just 84 grams, about equivalent to a cell phone. It also shoots the same 640 x 480 VGA-quality video, and uses a stubby, built-in USB connector to easily transfer video to a computer.
Many retailers have been piling on what has been a long string of bad news for the HD DVD camp and announced they were going to stop selling HD DVD players. Most recently, Best Buy and Netflix indicated they would be dropping HD DVD. Then, one Blu-Ray customer figured out he had been screwed by the Blu-Ray side and started a class action suit against one of the major Blu-Ray companies, something that is likely to accelerate.
