San
Francisco, CA – May 1, 2007 –
Pure Digital Technologies
today introduced Flip Video™, a new line of
digital video capture devices designed to
revolutionize how everyday consumers shoot
and share video. These remarkably simple
and affordable camcorders feature a major
advance in video sharing technology combined
with an ultra-portable design and
easy-to-use capture functionality. Developed
with Internet video sharing software
integrated directly into the device, Flip
Video is the first camcorder to seamlessly
upload directly to YouTube, and other online
video sharing sites. Available today at
major retailers nationwide – in time for
giving gifts to moms, dads and grads – Flip
Video camcorders capture life’s spontaneous
moments, no matter where or when they
occur. The camcorder retails at $119.99 for
the 30-minute model and $149.99 for the
60-minute model.
“With Flip
Video, Pure Digital has created a brand new
category of camcorder that puts the power to
instantly capture, edit, and share video in
the pocket of everyday consumers,” said
Jonathan Kaplan, Chairperson and CEO of Pure
Digital Technologies. “Flip Video has the
potential to forever change the way people
use this increasingly popular medium.”
Flip Video's
built-in software allows people to share
videos as easily as digital photos. In
addition to instant emailing, the program
allows videos to be uploaded directly to
popular Internet video sharing sites,
including YouTube. Creative users can also
edit their clips, make custom movie mixes,
add their own music, capture still photos
from video, and even design video greeting
cards.
“Flip Video
is a new breed of camcorder that recognizes
and leverages the tremendous demand for
video sharing.” said Kelly Liang, Business
Development, YouTube. “Not only does Flip
Video make it easy to capture video, it also
makes it simple to instantly share it with
friends, family or the world via YouTube.”
From the
makers of the successful and critically
acclaimed Pure Digital Point & Shoot
Camcorder, Flip Video is the only camcorder
that gives consumers the convenient option
of bringing the camcorder to a local photo
lab for one-hour DVD processing. There are
more than 9,500 Pure Digital-certified
retail locations nationwide, including
CVS/pharmacy, Rite Aid, Wolf Camera Centers,
Longs Drugs, and Duane Reade.
