Bye, bye Flip. Cost drops?

I would have to agree with Samuel because most people can just use their iPhone or DROID phones to shoot great video for example. We have a DROID X that has a generous 4.5" screen and takes HD video & sound just fine for the everyday user. Videos can now be uploaded directly to YouTube without having to convert them either (had to do this a year ago for quality)! I think little pocket-cams will become obsolete by 2012 (along with the WORLD!!! LOL).

I agree! It is absolutely crazy that on Saturday night when I placed it in my cart it had dropped to $41.99 (unable to finalize purchase because I was waiting for an email reply from TT support regarding the functions of Deluxe version). The next day it was at $49.99. Now it is listed at $53.99! For goodness sake, give me your best offer - then leave it alone while I resolve all of the other issues with TT and make a decision.

Not sure, but would like to know myself. One month ago it had dropped to as low as $64., it's now at $92.

Moreofless, do you have a link to the Verbatim-branded spindle of 100 DVDs that is cheaper by $10? I'd love to see that.

Yes. Spins both ways and very good quality, much better than what you find in stores. I see that it is currently priced at $29. I have seen the price jumping betn $12-15 to $30 every few weeks. You may want to wait for a bargain hunt :-)

That happened to me also, except the price doubled...from $59 to $108! Sounds like "bait and switch" to me. Good reason to go back to the old system.

Hi Everyone,I am a Mac user. When the flip first came out, i went online to Mac blogs to find out if the flip was compatible. This was last year, so i cannot remember where on the internet. But all these techie gurus were stating that it wasn't very compatible. There were numerous bugs to iron out and not with the USB port.I was disappointed cause i liked the smallness, portability, etc. I don't know if the newer generations of Flip have changed, but judging by the comments, it doesn't seem like it has.Happy Holiday everyoneLJ

Hi thanks for responding. It has been corrected. Showed 1.99 and then when I opened the page it went to $7+.

Worked for me too. THANK YOU!I held down the +, THEN turned on the Flip. Was brought into Setup and changed the date/saved it by pressing arrow as was displayed. It appeared to be changed. Not sure how to check it, but will call it a plus to get this far. Just learning how to do video now.Thanks again.Rozhttp://www.RozOnTwitter.com

So t17, do you have any advice about how to reasonably & inexpensively get digital videos made on a Flip onto DVD's? LUV LUV LUV the convenience of the Flip, but I was suprised that I can't just burn my videos to a DVD.Called Ritz Camera (at Flip's suggestion since they are 'authorized to create DVD's from the Flip'), and was shocked that I would need to give them the Flip for 10 days plus $29 for the first DVD and $15 for each subsequent copy. Yikes!! So to give my family (some of whom are elderly and don't have web access) 7 DVD copies of the cool little 18 minute movie I edited together from our July 4th party, I would have to spend $120! There's got to be a better way. Any suggestions? So t17, do you have any advice about how to reasonably & inexpensively get digital videos made on a Flip onto DVD's?

If you ordered it through Amazon, you will want to send it back to the amazon warehouse for the full refund and free shipping. Not from the flips website otherwise they will charge you for shipping, unless you ordered from their website.

Try downloading the software from the Flip website. I did this and it works perfectly on my laptop running XP. Hope this helps!

Same here...was getting ready to make final decision and BAM! Now it's $20 more bucks. Guess I'll wait to see if it comes back down.

Popular question. The answer is no. This is strictly for their purposes. That said, some people do flip the blades once in an effort to make them last longer, but at 10¢ a pop, it's not a big deal.
