Mag Pix 1080p Mini Camcorder

The Mag Pix 1080p Mini Camcorder shoots vivid video at full 1080p HD resolution.

After filming, users can easily watch their video because the Mag Pix includes a mini HDMI port on the side. This is perfect for playing back videos on the television. Users can also stream the video on the computer using a USB 2.0 connector or by placing the SD card into their computer’s card reader.

Cisco launches Flipshare TV

Flipshare TV is a small box that plays 720p video on your TV or HDTV. The device comes with a remote and a USB dongle that connects your computer to the Flipshare base station box, which then connects to your TV. The device comes with software that installs on your computer, Flipshare 5.0, to manage your videos. Even if you don’t have a Flip camcorder, you can watch shared videos from friends who do online on so-called Flispshare channels.
The wireless USB adapter and base station connect to each other over Wi-Fi 802.11n, but do not interconnect with other Wi-Fi 802.11n devices, as they are preconfigured to only communicate with each other.
