 Great compact device you may take everywhere!
By ken in the city
The form element on this product is great. Its noticeably littler (in both the pocket and the hand) than it is predecessor - the Flip Video Ultra Series, 60 min. And the Ultra was already compact to start out with! The sleek size was indispensable to me because I just won't fetch a camcorder out with me if it doesn't fit without apparent effort in my pocket. This device did just the trick. If you don't care when it comes to size (i.e., because you will just put it in your purse, etc) then I would suggest saving the cash and getting the Ultra, which lists for when it comes to $50 or so less.

 MAC USERS BEWARE...
By Area 51
I haven't seen this noted anyplace and I thought it was essential for Mac users to be filled in on the following....
1. The software that comes with the Flip Video Mino does NOT grant you to stitch multiple clips together to make one movie. Only Windows users may do this.
2. I was competent to get the Flip Video Mino AVI videos to play in iMovie '08, but not export. When you export the video you get a blank screen with only audio. I had better luck exporting the video from Final Cut Pro.
3. In case you are interested, the codec that Flip Video Mino uses is the 3ivx codec.
There are workarounds for the above issues, but it would have been nice if there was a way to combine clips into one movie right out of the box. Hopefully this will be possible in the future with a software update.
Other then those concerns, it is a outstanding product so far and the video quality from the raw AVI file is genuinely impressive.
I found a web site called motionbox that will let you upload the raw AVI files that the Flip Video Mino gives rise to and once uploaded you may do a lot of basic editing and combine multiple movies into one. Doing it this way gives you a much higher quality video then what you get on websites like YouTube.
