Last month I commented on TechCrunch's assertion that the iPhone 3GS' video recording feature would destory the Flip video cameras...

iPhone 3G S vs. Flip Video War?

I pooh-poohed the notion saying that it would have some impact but that Flip would do fine. However, if the photos from the Cult of Mac's article...

Exclusive: New Features of iPod Touch, Nano Revealed in Dozens of Cases

...are actual photos of cases for future camera toting iPod touch and iPod nano models, then I think these will cause the Flip video camcorders to disappear. If you could, for example, buy an 8GB iPod nano video camcorder for $200 or a 16GB iPod touch video camcorder for $300, why would you want a Flip camcorder that does not have the amazing auto-focus the iPods will probably inherit from the iPhone 3GS? I've been playing a bit with the 3GS video recording features and am simply amazed by how well it works compared to, for example, the Flip Ultra. I would definitely buy a video camera equiped iPod touch or iPod nano.
