Flip was really smart in selling $60 cams at Web 2.0 Expo. They sold out before I had a chance to buy one, so I ended up paying full price at Best Buy just to get my hands on one. <br><br>To your post, though, as a consumer I would be pretty turned off if a company sent me one with the purpose of me recording my interactions with their brand or product. There are probably plenty of other people, however, that would be excited by this opportunity. I think it's interesting to note the Flip tie in to <a href="http://Amazon.com">Amazon.com</a>.
