    Jake… very cool. I’ve been sitting on the sidelines regarding the Flip for a while. I know a couple of Dell folks who picked them up recently (including our Web 2.0 guru/ goddess Laura Thomas.

    Seeing you in the car made me think of my pal Marc Farley who does that from time to time.

    Jake … given all the chatter, I decided to Flip-out. Got a Flip. Took some video. Hooked it up to my Mac. Drats. Major Incompatibility. Could view video but couldn’t edit video. Couldn’t use iMovie HD. Couldn’t use the Flip editing software. Something to do with Leopard. Called Flip customer service. Downloaded a patch of some sort. Didn’t work. Emailed with “level 2″ tech support. Incompatibility remained. I gave up. Returned my Flip.

    Instead, I bought a 4GB memory stick. Stuck that stick in my dinky Canon PowerShot and shot video. Edited that video easy-smeezy style using iMovie HD. Not sure how much video I can get with the 4GB stick, maybe 60-minutes max. Video quality seems to be better in my Canon than the Flip.

    Net/net … the Flip didn’t work for me. Still cool though.
