The innovative new Flip Channels feature enables users to easily share their
favorite Flip content with groups of people they designate. Once created,
their personal Flip Channels can be instantly viewed online at FlipShare.com
or on any iPhone(TM) model by using the new FlipShare for iPhone application,
available soon.
"Flip Video changed the way people use video by making it simple to capture
and fun to share," said Jonathan Kaplan, senior vice president and general
manager of the Consumer Business Group at Cisco, which recently acquired Pure
Digital Technologies, makers of Flip Video products. "Our latest FlipShare
software, with the new Flip Channels feature, takes video sharing to the next
level by making it incredibly easy to share video with a friend, a group, or
with the world."
With FlipShare's new Flip Channels feature, consumers now have a simple way to
share their favorite Flip content - both video and snapshots - with many
different groups such as friends, family, classmates or teams. Once a user
creates a Flip Channel, it can be viewed online now at FlipShare.com or on an
iPhone using the breakthrough FlipShare application for the iPhone available
soon. This new application gives FlipShare users, as well as their friends
and family, instant access to their favorite Flip Video content from anywhere.
These latest software innovations build upon the success of the wildly popular
Flip Video camcorder line. Since its launch in 2007, more than 2 million Flip
Video camcorders have been sold and millions of videos have been shared using
FlipShare software. Flip Video models are ranked as the number one and number
two top-selling camcorders in the U.S. for the first quarter 2009, as ranked
by leading market research firm The NPD Group.
The new version of FlipShare software will begin shipping as the on-board
