"automatic Magic Movie mode that'll trim and edit before shooting your video to Facebook, YouTube and MySpace"
Are you sure? You can trim and edit before, make a movie before, and upload to FB and YouTube before. Are you saying there's something beyond FlipShare v. 4.5? Why don't they mention this difference on the Flip site?
Also, the video engine is upgraded to the same one as the UltraHD. I did a side-by-side comparison of the results, and the new video engine is noticeably improved in color saturation and low-light handling.
The Zi8, and a new pocket camcorder just out from JVC, have better features and specs than the Flip, but don't assume they have better video, equal ease of use, or anything approaching the ease of off-loading and editing of the Flip. Also, the prices comparisons are apples to oranges. The Flip price includes 4-8GB of memory, and you can buy for far below the MSRP.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
