Any of you that read my posts regularly will know that I’ve a bit of thing about recording mobile video of late. The Tech has changed SO MUCH in the last 12 months, it is ridiculous.
Pioneers in the budget “mobile” video recording devices market were Flip – purveyors of the the Mino, and now, the Mino HD. The Mino range is very distinctive, particularly the flip-out USB connector – yes, this thing plugs right in to your PC/Mac:
I spent a bit of time today checking out the Flip Mino HD device, which has 4GB internal memory, records 720p-HD (about an hours’ worth), and has this very slick USB connectivity too.
The only downside I saw was that the LCD display on the back of the device is very small – about 1.5 inches across, and for HD, that seems a bit of shame. However the ease of use of the Flip plays in it’s favour greatly. Point and shoot has never been so apt!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
