One of the biggest revelations in the musical event on the Apple Program was not only in the Ipod Nano now has a video camera, but that apple popular Flip video camera directly in his sights.

With a user-created video explosion, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that, perhaps one of the most frightening things rival Execs electronics industry can be heard saying: "We want this.

Already having destroyed the market for MP3-player with IPod, as well as putting pressure on human organs smartphone, Apple now hopes to take on a flip in his own backyard: a short, User-Generated video clips. Cisco acquired Pure Digital, manufacturer of popular flash-based cameras, earlier this year by almost $ 600 million, because, undoubtedly, was a leader in its field. Flip Video Set apart, making the process of creating, editing and uploading a short video sites like YouTube is very simple. Within two years, the company said it sold 2 million units.

Cisco was not the only major technology company, which noticed. In the case of environment, work specifically cited the success of Flip's.

"Video has risen sharply over the past few years," he said. Many people publish videos on sites like YouTube and many of them come from a solid state video cameras, as Flip, he said, pointing models Flip Ultra, which comes with 4 GB of memory for $ 149.

Flip, of course, is not the only manufacturer minicamcorder, which may be concerned about the attempt by Apple to enter this market. Flip a few kinds of imitators, like Sony Webby, Zi8 Kodak, and all devices from RCA, Sanyo, and creative.

But the panel de-facto leader in the minicams, and its Ultra and Mino models have a few things for them would be much more compact, not the nano, as a flip-out USB-port Flip, which allows the camera to be plugged directly into a computer without the need for cable connector . Flip is also user-replaceable batteries. Although the overall Nano is a smaller area, it was a bit unfair that a comparison be reflected in the Nano during the presentation of Apple used chunkiest model available Flip (Ultra), where Mina is much slimmer and more compact.
