With Kodak and RCA putting out so-called HD versions of their YouTube-friendly mini camcorders, we knew it was only a matter of time before Pure Digital Technologies, the maker of Flip Video mini camcorders, put out an HD model of its own.
Calling it the “world’s smallest HD camcorder,” the US$229 Flip Mino HD looks identical to the standard-definition Flip Mino. It weighs just over 3 ounces, boasts 720p resolution, and has 4GB of memory that allows for 60 minutes of recording time. The release also says that the Flip Mino HD features “all-new built-in FlipShare software for easy saving, organizing and sharing of video from your computer.” We’re not sure how it’s different from the software on the existing Mino, but when we get more details, we’ll let you know.
Power Anywhere, anytime

While I still love my iPhone 3G, we’ve hit some bumps in the road in our relationship. In particular its battery life, or lack thereof, depending on what I’m using it for.
I recall one instance in particular. After using the phone more than I usually do in a day, I went to bed without charging it. The next day to woke up to a dead phone. Luckily this was a Saturday morning, so I didn’t particularly need it for the next few hours, but this could have easily happened on a weekday.
