I got a Flip Mino for CES -- one of Obsessable's Ten Best Gadgets of 2008. I didn't get the HD one, but if my fanbase cries out to see me in HD I will definitely upgrade.
C.K. does a great job of explaining what Flip cameras are and how they work, but he didn't tell people that the true value of these things -- no, not locker room spy videos, you have such a dirty mind -- is for doing "floating head" podcasts. I am even considering getting one of those Bob Dylan harmonica stands for my Flip camera so I don't have to hold it while I walk around recording my floating head shows.
Here is a preview of my new video podcast series:

I already thought about that. Lots of audio podcasts get recorded like that where both of the hosts are doing local recording while they're talking on the phone and the podcast is made from merging the two quality recordings. I think it would be fantastic.
Niki liked it so much that she got the HD one.

Hey, I got the non HD one too! You should have me as a guest on this video podcast; we both go for a walk together recording ourselves in floating head style and then splice it together into an awesome floating-head discussion!

This is the best video podcast I have ever seen.
