As much as I like the Flip camera, (it's cost and simplicity) it's really too bad it has to go.... unless another company buys what's left and carries on.

There seems to be a lot of things going on - don't you think? I mean technology wise. 3D movies have reached a new level with the movie, "Avatar" creating new standards. 3D screens are now being pioneered for home use.
A couple of DSLR cameras can shoot video and new rigs are being created. (Why not just stick to a video camera?)
Super or Ultra HD standards are almost complete but have yet to come to the USA. (My plasma HD is only 3 years old)
