The FLIP or the IPHONE with VIDEO? What do you recommend? What do you suggest my web friends out there?

The iPhone does VGA video (640x480); the Flip does HD 720p (1280x720), or three times the resolution. The widescreen format of the Flip HD camcorders, in addition to the HD factor, means that Flip HD video look much better on YouTube than iPhone video. iPhones are great, but not in the same class with Flip for video. I agree with the previous comment that the UltraHD is the best value.

While I have used the video, I rarely do. So I am no expert. But, to me, the video is as good as the pictures- the sound is fine. It shot in low light really well, so maybe that helps you? I'd say it is certainly as good as my iPhone is!

We use the iOS app on an iPad attached to a mic to control the GoPro when we want to record our band performances. The iOS is much better, IMHO, because it allows you to really see what you are shooting.

I have a LG Optimus V which is close to that size and recorded a 1/2 hour video of myself. It worked great at acquiring virtually any angle. The only issueI could see would be clipping it onto a shallow thickly cushioned car dashboard. The clip is 1.5" deep and opens 1.5" wide and is 3.0" wide and has a verystrong squeeze needed to open it. This is the bottom part I just wrote of as for the top you could consider that the iphone 6 can be held in the same manneras of the phone in the image. I would suggest a silicone cover for the phone as I have one on mine because the clamp pressure is strong but easier to open.The swivel can be adjusted and locked in place. A great value and I'm very happy with it. I have a LG Optimus V which is close to that size and recorded a 1/2 hour video of myself. It worked great at acquiring virtually any angle.

When will they be available?Looks great combination of features & price-I really want a good viable alternative to the Apple.It will support/play Adobe Flash too, which Apple doesn't, & it's High Def, which Apple isn't

A 20-minute video I bought from iTunes is 100MB. If you think they're going to use the video feature a lot, I'd go with the 80G.

Im not sure what a FlipVideo is, but these batteries last a while on a charge.

My justification for iPod is the ease and convenience of content purchase, particularly video. iTunes is seamless in this regard, and I am able to purchse the sort of content I like (typically science and history documentaries) with ease. iTunes has a lot to choose from, and the iPod Touch is a great experience for this.

Actually, there is another difference that may or may not matter to the user. The flip ultra has a tripod insert in the bottom so that the user can be in the videos (or stills captured later on playback). I wish I would've waited to get the Ultra so I could more easily be in the family vacation videos by setting the flip up on the little tripod that's sold seperately.

And FYI, IF you are considering a FLIP, you need to get a 2nd or 3rd generation (I'd suggest 3rd), as generation 1 depended on FLIP software, which isn't available anymore. And don't get a mino FLiP, too limited in my humble opinion. Got my 3rd generation on eBay for $36. It was perfect when it arrived. Anyway, good luck!

Barb- If she mainly needs video I'd recommend looking at the flip video cams instead

Not so much "rotate" as flip it. The iPad can flip over to share with somebody sitting across from you. It's very useful in my husband's landscaping business, he can effortlessly share his ideas with his clients

The few videos I have done are great but it's not primarily something I use it for. Over all I would recommend a tripod or stand if you plan on using it for that. The display is big enough that you should have no issues with it.

Thx for the update. We now agree the Flip works just fine w/the Mac, and especially iMovie. We made a bunch of quite amateurish uploads on a fun site that shows how this looks. See www.mytripjournal.com/beartrek10Tom

I'm a big fan of my iPod touch as well (in fact, I'm typing this on mine right now). To download movies or TV shows, I normally just use iTunes. It's not only easy, but it's also legal. Paying two dollars per episode is outrageous for some, but I don't mind because of the ease and convenience... Just my two cents :-)
