What is it? The Flip Video Mino is a mini-handheld digital video recorder that records up to 1 hour of video in standard definition.

And it offers straight the Web video sharing. What makes it cool? CNET reviewers call this device the best mini camcorder for straight-to-Web video currently available.

The Flip Video Mino is an ultraslim design that is also very functional and easy to use. It also offers relatively high-quality sound and video for its class of product and offers one-touch video uploading to YouTube and AOL.

What makes it not so cool? At between $160 and $180, it's a bit pricey for a product in this category. And reviewers point out that it can't match the features of a video-savvy point-and-shoot camera. It also doesn't offer a memory expansion slot. And the rechargeable battery isn't removable or replaceable.
