The Tragic Death of the Flip ⇥

David Pogue:

That new Flip that the product manager showed me was astonishing. It was called FlipLive, and it added one powerful new feature to the standard Flip: live broadcasting to the Internet. That is, when you’re in a Wi-Fi hot spot, the entire world can see what you’re filming [in real time]. And the FlipLive was supposed to ship yesterday. April 13. The day after Cisco killed the Flip.
