Today, Monday 9th June, the Flip finally launched in the UK. The video camera according to ‘The Independent’ Newspaper accounts for 13% of all camcorders sold in the USA where it first went on sale. Sales are closing in on 1 million across the pond.

The reason: the Flip is so simple to use, fits in your pocket, operates on just 3 buttons and plugs straight into the USB port on your Mac or PC for seemless upload to video-sharing site like YouTube and MySpace.

It can be used by kids, pensioners and anyone in between. It will be interesting to see how it goes down with the Brits, I expect you’ll be seeing it in the back pockets of many Union Jack Shorts on the beach this summer!
