Topic:

The new Flip MinoHD 2nd Generation camcorder is on sale since last week. Our review partner tested the new improved Flip and published this review.

Quote from the review: "In case you missed Apple's fall iPod announcements, Apple and Flip Video (now owned by Cisco) are at war. After Steve Jobs treaded into Flip territory by adding a camera to the iPod Nano and implied that it eliminated the need to buy a separate device, Flip headed back to the drawing boards determined the prove that an MP3 player can't upend the established leader of the up-and-coming mini HD camcorder market.

BlackBerry 8230 Pearl Flip For Verizon: Available June 19th

Topic:

It sure as hell doesn't look like a BlackBerry, but the Pearl Flip 8230 is as much a member of the family as the Storm or the Bold. It packs a 324MHz processor, OS 4.6.0, a 2 megapixel camera, GPS, vertical QVGA display, and a SureType keyboard. It looks like a great little business phone/personal organizer, and the keyboard (while not as good as a full QWERTY) is definitely the best texting numpad I've seen.
