The Nano isn't competitive with that. Its 640x480 4:3 rather than the 1280x720 the Mino HD shoots, and its significantly lower quality. But if you're carrying the Nano and you don't have the Mino HD with you... Or you have a Nano and not a Mino, then you might find it adequate.

Both are obviously fine for producing Youtube video for the internets. Both could use some work for shooting a wedding or your kid's game.]]>Dec 17th 2009 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/Dec 17th 2009 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/

Here's a vid of the VadoHD and Zi8 side-by-side.

Not convinced. Sure I know they want to build an ecosystem. And they're trying in a limited way to build one. But do you really think they're succeeding? Have you used FlipShare? Have you looked at the Engadget review of the FlipShareTV? Neither is particularly brilliant. Sure you can use FlipShare to post stuff to YouTube. But as Apple moves towards posting clips directly to YouTube from your iPhone/Touch, do you really feel like Flip is competitive with that? Do you actually think they're going to sell ANY of these stupid FlipShareTV things?

C'mon get real. Sure maybe over time something might evolve, but so far I don't see it. I can't imagine Apple is sweating this company at all.]]>Dec 17th 2009 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/Dec 17th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/However, they may find it pretty cool to have that feature.
So it would be pointless to have an iPod that records video, and ALSO carry around another video camera]]>Dec 17th 2009 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/Dec 17th 2009 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/Dec 17th 2009 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/switched-on-the-camcorder-strikes-back/
