Next-gen Flip camcorder to boast Wi-Fi
EXCLUSIVE: Cisco buy-out sees networking functionality added to popular range
18 November 2009 17:55 GMT / By Stuart Miles
Cisco will launch a new Wi-Fi-enabled Flip digital camcorder to go on sale in the early half of 2010, Pocket-lint has learnt.
The new model will be the first to leverage Cisco's networking technology since it bought Pure Digital in a multi-million dollar deal in early 2009.
Details are thin on the ground at the moment, but we've been informed by a Cisco spokesperson that the new model will feature "a large screen that slides to reveal the record and menu buttons underneath" allowing users to see what is going on when they are recording video.
The screen itself won't be touchscreen however, presumably in an attempt to keep costs down.
Owners of the new pocket video camcorder will be able to record video footage and then upload it straight from the camcorder over Wi-Fi networks both private and public, a feature currently being offered in some DSLRs.
We will keep you posted.
