 Cisco-owned Pure Digital today unveiled a refresh of the Flip Mino HD. The latest version of the ever-popular pocket camcorder features a larger screen, increased capacity, and a new brushed metal design. The camera also packs a new version of the company's proprietary FlipShare software.
The new Flip Mino HD now features 8GB of an-board memory, which should give users roughly two hours of recording time, according to the company (I imagine this is under the VGA setting). The screen size (one of our major complaints about the camera's predecessor), has been increased from 1.5- to 2-inches. The new Flip also features an HDMI jack (a feature now found on most other HD pocket camcorders). The new software lets user upload videos directly to Facebook.
The new camera still carries a relatively lofty sticker price at $229. It's predecessor has been priced at a more competitive $199.

Well then, at least Flip is stepping up its game considering the new iPod Nano is trying to horn in on some of its territory - personally, I think I'd rather have a Flip than a Nano (since I already have an iPod) and the new features and increased screen size are a huge benefit.
Agreed on the price point though - it's still pretty up there.
