A different approach to the iPhone 3G (S)

This device is simply a game changer.  Forget that it’s a phone, that hardly matters.  The addition of the video camera truly sets it apart.  Alex Lindsay has an over the top, but unique approach to how the new iPhone will change things.  Watch this video.

Then there is the flip.  I love my Mino.  Small form factor, 720p video and easy to use.  I wonder though if it’s now irrelevant.  I nkow the iPhone only shoots 640x480 video,but that’s now, what about down the road?  Being able to shoot, edit and push to YouTube right from a wifi enabled device.  In Flip’s defense, they were bought this year by Cisco.  So the odds are they will be building a next gen. device with built in wifi.  The problem is, it’s another device.  Who wants to carry around two devices?

The Flip still costs less than the iPhone, and the transition will be gradual. But most everyone carries a phone anyway. And within a couple of years video will be as ubiquitous on those phones as photos are today.  Now they need to put it in the iPod Touch.
