The Flip Mino and MinoHD have been a success in the U.S. for some time now and Cisco have just launched these two models in New Zealand and Australia. I was sent one for this review just before launch and can confirm that it's a success amongst my friends - geeks and non-geeks.

Tune in Partners With its cutting-edge design, top-quality imagery and insightful editorial, Tone is essential for readers who want to stay on the bleeding edge and maximize the fun and freedom promised by today's tech-fuelled lifestyle.

If last year's most-viewed YouTube clip, ‘David After the Dentist', has taught us anything, it is that it's okay to exploit your seriously doped-up kid for fame and fortune (as long as you don't pretend he escaped in an oversized helium balloon).

Final Thoughts The Flip MinoHD is the perfect thing for anyone looking to do anything with digital video. It is small and compact, which will make it easy for you to take with you anywhere. Just because it is small does not mean that it lacks quality.

Flip has secured a foothold in the market for pocket camcorders, with an extensive range that culminates, for now at least, with the MinoHD. It claims to be the ‘world's smallest HD camcorder', and first impressions lend support to that claim.

I just used the camera which looked and appeared to be just as represented. I videotaped a person to use in a professional presentation, and the first 5 minutes or so looked very good, then in the remaining 45 minutes, the speaker was a distracting array of different fluorescent colors.

This product came quickly and worked great! This was the second attempt at buying a Flip Mino and the first one never worked so we we're very happy with this one.
