You know those ubiquitous ads that were plastered all over the Long Island Railroad , bus stops and TV , telling you how Flip camcorder is the best thing since sliced bread? How many of you bought one and even invested in a waterproof case afterwards?
I hate to tell you but Cisco (who owns Flip) announced recently that Flip is no more, gone, kaput. Cisco should really stick to networking sales to businesses and government instead of trying to peddle consumer products like Linksys and Flip. But that is more of a blog post for Jim Cramer, Herb Greenberg or even Larry Kudlow then SJ .
Where am I going with this? I have no idea but thanks for asking J
Wait’ it just came back to me. Yes, Go Pro and LCD screen. For those of you who don’t know, Go Pro makes a sweet ,tiny full HD waterproof video camera with a sick 180 degree view. We love our GoPro and we wrote a review in one of our past issues….but we felt compelled to write a lengthy follow up in this issue
Why?
I knew you were going to ask that…so instead of typing with this one poor finger of mine I did there next best thing….video

Thank you Zeno-That was extremely helpful. My camera died on me yesterday and I am in search of a new one.
