Update: Flip UltraHD

I received my Flip UltraHD yesterday and am really enjoying it. It is sleek, and is ready to go right out of the box (just be sure to put the battery in). What is really impressive is how easy it is to use. Literally just point and shoot. I used it to shoot this video at the Detroit Airport.

The Flip UltraHD shoots 720p HD video and has an HDMI port so you can directly plug it into my plasma.

Once you are finished shooting just plug the Flip into your USB port on your computer, the software is already installed, and you are presented with an array of options on how you want to view, upload, or edit your video. The software lets you directly upload to your YouTube or MySpace account so you can share your video with anyone. I added Flip's music to the video, added a title screen, and credits in less than five minutes, very impressive.  Use it with the Gorillapod tripod and the Flip UltraHD is a must for any backpack journalist.
