Seems overly priced if it's just Pure Digital as they're just a pathfinder for the IMG IP.

But if it's the whole company, it's rather cheaper as their IP is in a huge range of current gadgets, including the iphone and many other top end mobiles

I don't see how this is even relevant to Cisco's business, in that I don't see how this could sell more networking equipment. I see how HD video gaining market share is good for Cisco, so maybe they just want to keep making those Flip cameras, but they're going to sell them much cheaper than Pure Digital.

Major fail IMO.]]>Mar 19th 2009 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/cisco-acquiring-flip-video-maker-pure-digital-for-590-million-i/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/cisco-acquiring-flip-video-maker-pure-digital-for-590-million-i/Mar 19th 2009 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/cisco-acquiring-flip-video-maker-pure-digital-for-590-million-i/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/cisco-acquiring-flip-video-maker-pure-digital-for-590-million-i/Mar 19th 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/cisco-acquiring-flip-video-maker-pure-digital-for-590-million-i/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/19/cisco-acquiring-flip-video-maker-pure-digital-for-590-million-i/

I really don't see the Flip gaining any more marketshare now that the big name camcorder companies have taken notice, and are making competing products, as well as cell phone companies improving their video recording functions. I think Cisco would have been better off trying to make a deal with Kodak or Panasonic.]]>Mar 19th 2009 5:19PM
