Vado Camcorder - A Flip Video Clone?
The folks over at Creative Labs are probably not having such a great week. JR.com last week accidently leaked details on their new compact camcorder series, the Vado. After word got out, the company seemingly scrambled to submit a proper press release and image of the product this week.
Wired noticed the last week that the camcorder appeared out of nowhere on JR. They’re basic review of the product is that it’s merely a clone of the Flip camcorders.
From Wired’s blog:
“It’s a surprise that nobody has done this before. The modest little Flip commands a huge 13% of the entire market, proving the demand for a cheap and cheerful camcorder. We expect that Vado won’t be the first attempt to cut a slice of this cake.”
Can you really blame them for trying to capitalize on the Youtube video phenomenon? Plus, who can argue with the $100 price tag? I’d think these would come in handy when you’re traveling and don’t really care about quality.

yeah can’t blame em for tapping into that market..although I don’t know how long the market for these camcorders will be viable since the video capturing quality on many phones is rapidly improving and should catch up to these quickly.
