Flip MinoHD Camcorder

November 18, 2009

 

Last year Santa left one of these little goodies under our tree and we’ve put it to good use over the past year. I absolutely love it’s small size. If I’ve got something to videotape at the elementary school this goes in my purse and comes out when it’s time to tape. No lugging around an extra bag. The kids love to “borrow” it and film each other. One day we found twenty videos (all under two minutes long) of my son just rambling on and telling silly jokes.

When I’m done recording I plug it right into my computer and transfer the file over. From there I can edit my videos, make movies, email them out or upload them somewhere fun.  It seriously could not be easier. Our Flip camera is a “first generation” and will only record 60 minutes of video. It’s been plenty for us because when we’re running out of space we just clean it off.  Now they’ve got a version that will hold two hours of video and you could store oodles of good stuff on there.

I love, love, love this gadget. Santa purchased ours at Costco but the link here will take you to Amazon where you can hear other people sing Flip’s praises.

*Update – Today I began following @FlipVideoBrand on Twitter and found out that if you become a fan on Facebook you can get $15 off a Flip and free shipping. Not a bad deal at all.  http://bit.ly/1paY6A

Individual Text Tones for Contacts

My 9 year old daughter told me about an iOS 5 feature that I was totally unaware of until last week. Miss S. showed me how to set up individual text tones for my contacts.

What I Do

I review iPhone apps for moms. I have a decent grasp of techy things but the technical guts (for lack of a better word) of how the apps work are beyond me. So my reviews will be practical and purely subjective. Reviews for moms by a real life, actual mom. My kids will vouch for me.
