According to research company NPD, Flip Video has broken the one million mark with their Flip Video Ultra camcorder. In an ever increasing market, Flip Video is now seeing competition from Kodak and DXG in the easy to use and easy to upload market.

“Flip’s simplicity makes it easy for anyone to capture and share their stories and to participate in the explosion of video-sharing on the web, and that has been a winning approach with consumers,” said Jonathan Kaplan, Chairperson and CEO of Pure Digital Technologies.

Of course, Flip was the first to make a splash in this market, so its safe to think they have gotten a nice head start in terms on sales. It should be interesting to see just how well they do with the new Flip Mino model, especially considering some of the competition is offering up to 720p quality.

Flip lovers sit tight – there’s a new Flip about to hit the market.  Silent and unassuming, the new camcorder came without much fanfare.  A B&H print catalog simply listed the new camcorder from Flip Video—the Mino Flip.

Currently there are not any available specifications about the new device.  The only thing known about it is that it has a list price of $179.99, comes in white or black and will be available on June 4.

It may be assumed that the new device is the company’s new flagship Flip as the high-end Ultra also started out at $179.99.  Improvements in design, features, and performance compared to earlier flip models seem like a safe bet, but actual details are still unavailable.
