Cisco is shutting down the popular Flip pocket camcorder business after a hefty 2009 Purchase from Pure Digital Technologies Inc.
The plan is to build out the core Cisco networking business and support the corporate customer and move away from any consumer oriented sales.
In 2010 Sony took away the #1 spot from Flip and with declining sales due to a surge in competition from Sony and Kodak and cell phone manufacturers incorporating HD video shooting Cisco decided pulling the plug and narrowing the focus to the core business is best for the company.

Zoom’s much anticipated, Flip-like Q3HD camcorder is now available. You can find it at B&H Photo here.
The Q3HD shoots 1080p at 30 fps or 720p at 30 and 60 fps. The big news about the Q3HD, however, is the inclusion of the same mic capsules used on the H4n, along the the capture of 44.1/48/96kHz 16/24-bit WAV audio files.
Additionally, a mini plug line-in jack lets you capture audio from an external mic, and a mic gain switch lets you choose between low, high and auto. You also get a visual reference for audio levels in the form of on-screen meters as you record/playback. The presence of a line out mini plug suggests that you may very well be able to monitor audio as it is captured as well.
