Flip Mino an improvement Jun04 '08

It's rare that I'll gripe about a product, and a few days later see a new version released, correcting many of my complaints.

The Flip Mino is the latest addition to the Flip Video line of camcorders.

As for the name, I'm not quite sure yet how to pronounce "Mino." I'm thinking min-O, but it just sounds wrong altogether.

If you recall my initial complaints:

AA batteries only source of power
Conversion time lengthy for longer videos
USB "arm" not practical

Two of these have been resolved (somewhat):

AA batteries only source of power: The Flip Mino has a rechargeable battery.
USB "arm" not practical: The USB "arm" now extends from the top, as opposed to the side, making more room for other peripherals.

Clearly, they've taken some important aspects into consideration, making the Flip Mino much more usable.
