My husband and I have had some fun playing with it. I did a short video, editing in iMovie, and uploaded it to Google video. </embed Love my Flip, bought it at Stanford University bookstore when I was there for a job fair.

Unless you WANT the pretty colors. They'll be cheaper at Walmart. It's just a USB extension. @Kimberly: Don’t buy them from Flip, though. Unless you WANT the pretty colors.

The way the USB is on the school computers the flip kind of hangs mid air. Not the best situation safety wise. I think I’m going to order the USB connectors.

I bought a Flip a year ago and have barely used it. I like the size because it is easy to carry around. I think if you haven't done much with movie editing before you'd love it because it is so easy to download and edit in their software. But I agree that it is not the best solution if you plan to pull the clips into iMovie for lots of editing. I can really tell a difference in the quality when in iMovie - it seems very pixelated and you can really see that it is hard to keep the small camera still while filming. So I agree that the Flip is great to put into the hands of kids to take a few short clips to document an activity, but not the solution if you are really wanting them to learn about video filming and editing. BTW, the cat video was great! Thanks for posting your observations. I bought a Flip a year ago and have barely used it. I like the size because it is easy to carry around.

Is there an old school teacher in one of your children? Then the cat video..I was laughing. I think your children will do great. Thanks for sharing those. How funny.

I got my flip video last Thursday --one of my first thoughts was of ordering a second one for my 7 year-old! Now I'm going to have to! Thanks for the encouragement. Love it!

Have you watched the JJ Abrams TED Talk -- the Mystery Box? Great talk about creativity and his start into making films as a child. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/205 Thanks for sharing!

I'll be adding several of them to my middle school's technology tool kit. I think the Flip camcorders are ideal for “snapshot videos,” just like the ones you posted.
