According to NPD research, the Flip is the #1 selling camcorder in the US, beating out such stalwarts as Sony and JVC. The Flip is the YouTube compatible video camera that is so simple even a retarded monkey could use it.

The Flip—so popular because of the cam’s ease-of-use, low cost and instant publication capabilities—leapfrogged into the digital marketplace, creating a whole new category that even the consumer electronic giants are now scrambling to copy.

I’ll say! Just watch Kodak and DXG.

Note the Flip is not the same as the Flip Mino which never arrived at CG HQ.
