I remember being happily shocked the first time I tried a Flip Ultra and took a look at what I considered to be a decent quality VGA resolution (640x480) video from an inexpensive and simple to use video camera. I have not bought any of the newer Flip HD (High Definition) products that followed. But, I have seen sample videos and have been very impressed by those samples. Pure Digital Technologies (owned by Cisco) announced a 2nd generation Flip MinoHD video camera this week...

Here's how it differs from the 1st generation model:

- Memory increased from 4GB to 8GB
- Video recording time increased from 60 minutes to 120 minutes
- LCD screen is 2 inches diagonal vs 1.5
- LCD resolution is 960x240 vs 528x132

The MiniHD 2nd generation video camera is priced at $299.99.
