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.

Pocket camcorder brand Flip has emulated T-Mobile's popular Liverpool Street Station dance event with a similar effort in the decidedly more sunny setting of Australia's Bondi Beach.

Performed as part of a promotion for the launch of the Flip Mino HD video camera, the corporate flash mob is kick-started by a man in Speedos dancing alone to Ben Lee's "Catch My Disease" until 200 other dancers join the routine. Hit play to see action from the impromptu sequence now.
