One button. No settings. Press…..recording…..stop.

I want one. No, after faffing about with video on a sodding N96 tonight, I *need* one.

The mobile industry is asleep at the content-creation wheel. Lunch eaten. WiFi Flip + access to The Cloud for 'sometime today upload' = sorted. Real-time does not matter to most. Do it at home, but in the background, automatically. EyeFi-card style. Look how well they have sold, based on the same model.

(actually, 3's SeeMeTV – now 'Eyevibe' :-/ – was reasonably popular among its punters, but is quite a different user case as it's 3GPP video sent via MMS with no way to get it/watch it on your PC AFAIK.)
