Creative Vado VF0570-P Budget Camcorder Sets Sights on Pure Digital’s Flip YouTube(13/05/08)/Blogging Camcorder

In mind of the phenomenal success of Pure Digital Technology's priced
Flip Video YouTube and Blogging Camcorder - a budget priced motion
capture device that's gained a not inconsiderable 13% market share in
the camcorder market despite a dispute concerning the device's full
duplex single chip video codec (see link below) - Creative look set to
offer what they obviously hope will gain them a slice of the action in
the form of their up and coming low cost Vado VF0570-P.Whilst little is
known concerning Creative's Vado VF0570-P - Creative are yet to announce
the device in any shape or form - thanks to online retailer JR.com, who
have the device listed as 'coming soon', we do know that the AA battery
powered Vodo offers up to two hours of VGA resolution capture courtesy
of 2GB of integrated memory, that it comes with YouTube compatibility
and that it's set to retail for a mere $99.99 - which makes it a direct
competitor to Pure Digital's Flip Video (specifically their Flip Video
Ultra model).We await official word as well as the release of product
imagery from Creative with baited breath, though we suspect that Pure
Digital, having well and truly established the Flip as the 'original'
YouTube/blogging camcorder will be loosing little sleep in the meantime
(not least because they have other, rather more pressing issues to worry
about at the moment).UPDATE (13/05/08): Creative’s Vado Cam has
been launched, see Creative Launch Vado YouTube Pocket Budget Video
Camcorder [Flip Video Inspired VF0570-P Vado Cam].
