It is the beginning of Summer Blockbuster season. Many films have created special effects infused spectacle to entertain, amuse and wow us; the movie going public. One of the highly anticipated blockbusters of the summer is M. Night ‘s The Last Airbender, which is based off the “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Of course, when great movies are coming up there is always a partnership between a company in order to generate revenue and hype.  In this partnership story, it is the Flip Video Camera.

Flip Video will be offering  custom-designed Flip cams will include two different sets of four designs representing The Last Airbender. One set featuring the four main characters and the other set will feature designs representing the four nations.  As well M. Night Shyamalan will use a Flip video camera to shoot content that will only be available on the limited-edition “Last Airbender” Flip cameras. This is a wonderful item for fans of M. Night Shyamalan or of the Airbender series.

The Last Airbender Flip video cameras will be available exclusively through Amazon and the Flip online store (theflip.com) beginning June 7th.

The camcorder has evolved. I remember the very first camcorder that I ever encountered. It was my father’s Sony Handycam with the super tiny tapes, which he used to record Christmas mornings, dance recitals, and just random foolishness. It’s been years since I saw that machine, yet the memories that have embedded into tape, make me smile today.

That seems to be the goal with Cisco’s new camcorder, the Flip SideHD.  The new camera promises to make video capturing easy and fun.  By introducing the new widescreen, made it very easy to play back some of your favorite moments and with the touch screen interface make it easier for navigation.  For more information on the camera check out the product specs below.
