@EnochLight: You proved my point. People who own smartphones are not the market for the flip. Their phones are as good cameras as a flip and they can figure out the more complex "real cameras" with stuff like optical zooms, so there is no reason to even consider a flip .

I hardly think 720p smartphones are encroaching on this product. After all if you can operate a smartphone, you can probably figure out a real camera.

@DON_BOT: Unless you are using internal gears (expensive) belts have no shifting potential.

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: Google "shaft drive bicycle" There are lots of them, but they are expensive.

I agree 100%.

They should have a sensor that determines how interested you are in what is in front of you, so when you are waiting in traffic the frame rate goes down to .1fps, but the bikini girl on the trampoline bumps it up to 120fps.

@aMatic: That is a ridiculous objection.

Airhogs is going to have these for $29.95 in a couple of years, and then the real fun will start.

If you combined it with a phone, then everyone from teenage girls to wall street executives would have arms of steel.

So they poached a MS executive because MS has been so outstandingly successful in the phone arena?

@SkipErnst: I am reading 12pt text on a 17" screen at about a meter and it is not so big a deal. In any case I imagine you can select the resolution to accommodate your particular prescription.

perhaps polarized contact lenses will be a solution for those that already wear contacts.

It makes a great movie prop, but I think even a really cheap dirt bike would leave it in the dust, especially in really rough ground, although the remote control trailer towing is neat.

Play wmv's on the iPad? that will be the day...

@Dezerus Richardson: So if I make a Pornotube app that also has a built in calculator that would be OK?

I guess this does not bother me because I feel like Google is my personal assistant, and of course my assistant is going to know all about me, that is what makes them able to do their job.

They should vacuum seal these film until they can be digitized.

Once again Sony finds another way to shrink their market share. Those guys are marketing antigeniuses!

"Apps that contain user generated content that is frequently pornographic (ex "Chat Roulette" apps) will be rejected"

Actually it would work in space so long as there was some air for it to use, like on the space station for example.
