So Becca, my lovely fiance, got me another device (the same week as my new iPhone, :: wow ::)... the Flip Video Ultra...
A slightly newer product and a neat idea, let's cram 480p video recording device into a super simple, easy to use ecosystem... and the pocket of our users. Make it somewhat affordable ($150 for Ultra) and easy to share videos (built in software uploads to several different websites by default)...
Here's a quick demo:
And yeah, I'm a big freaking dork...
As you can see... the video is actually quick clear for non-moving shots... but once you get it out into the sunlight with moving vehicles, it does degrade slightly. It's light, easy to use... definitely worth it for having something to play around with and take on vacations with you. It records up to an hour of footage, which isn't bad, and has everything you need (from hardware to software) built into the device...
