Share the post "The FlipVideo Ultra HD"

Amazing quality with the push of a button. The FlipVideo Ultra HD comes with image stabilization for incredibly clear and steady HD video. My client gave me this 8gb device that can shoot almost 2 hours worth of straight video … in HD!

HD video redefined through smooth, crystal-clear HD video that looks incredible under any condition, no complicated settings required. The device connects with an application called FlipShare which lets you easily organize, create and share videos online.

This model is 4.16″ X 2.11″ X 0.88″ in size with 2x digital zoom, comes with a lithium ion battery and a USB port to let you charge your FlipVideo and/or transfer videos to and from your computer. This gadget does not take still photos although you can use FlipShare to easily extract a frame which will serve as your still photo.

The user interface is pretty simple. Press the red button to start recording and press again to stop. The two buttons on the side are for deleting and viewing movies. They are self explanatory. Portable, handy and affordable. Best of all, I got this for FREE! he he he.

Share the post "iPad 2: New Details Emerge"

Two new cases claimed to be designed for Apple’s forthcoming second-generation iPad show the device with a rear-facing camera, as well as a space that could be used to input an SD card. Could be … but I am hoping there should be a USB port there.

The cases, spotted by iLounge, both show a rear-facing camera on the left side of the device, as well as a larger cutout on the bottom where the speaker exists on the first-generation iPad. One case, from Shenzhen MacTop Electronics, suggests the device will be slimmer than the current iPad.

The second case, from Kodawarisan, shows many of the same features and dimensions, but the documentation accompanying it also mentions an SD card slot, in addition to FaceTime. That has led to speculation that the large space where the speaker exists could also house a place to put an SD card.

The current iPad has only a 30-pin iPod connector as a port, but Apple does sell a “Camera Connection Kit”. The adapters in that kit include a USB port, to allow a camera to connect directly to the device, as well as an SD card slot, allowing users to import photos and videos from a camera card.

The cases also show the same placement for the mute switch and the headphone jack. They also do not show a space for a second 30-pin dock connector on the side for landscape orientation docking, a feature that has been rumored.

Come April, it would be interesting to find out what new features the iPad 2 will really have.
