Flip that Camera Out the Door

Today I just received word that the Flip Camera is going the way of the DoDo Bird.

Joanna of CMAP sent me a great article from the New York Times

telling the brief story of how the Flip Camera , in 2007, started up in SF and then was bought up by

Cisco Systems for roughly $590 Million - Cha Ching !

 

How did you like the Flip camera ?

Were they just too cute?

Did Cisco make a big error to buy a small company and not know how to take it to the next level?

What alternatives have worked well for you? JVC, Kodak, Panasonic, Canon . . . ?

Let me know your thoughts.
