My Wife "had " to have it.

I tested it out - not bad at all.

She has yet to use it..... :shock:

Did you give it back to her? ;)

Well, sort of.

I keep leaving it in obvious, easy to pick up places, but I'm the one who keeps picking it up. :roll:

I just put a Mino in my Amazon shopping cart this morning and have been thinking about it all day.

I bought the Ultra series last year and ended up returning it. Nifty gadget, easy to use and nice picture quality, but couldn't get it to interface properry with my computer.

I see now there is a software upgrade for the Ultra, so hopefully the bugs have been worked out with the Mino as I don't think I'm going to be able to resist :)

I'm going to steal my Flip back when I go to trade shows.

It's the ultimate video memo device.

Interface hasn't been a problem with my Macs.
