Cisco bought out Pure Digital in a multi-million dollar deal earlier this year and they intend to use their networking know-how to launch a new Wi-Fi-enabled Flip digital camcorder.
Those lovelies over at Pocket-Lint had a chat with a Cisco spokesperson who said that the new range would feature “a large screen that slides to reveal the record and menu buttons underneath” allowing users to see what is going on when they are recording video.
Cisco wants to keep this in the pocket-friendly region in cost as well as size so don’t go dreaming about touchscreens and the like!
The plan is that you’ll be able to record video and upload it straight from the camcorder over Wi-Fi networks both private and public, a feature currently being offered in some DSLRs.

It’s getting hot in the PSP 2 rumour-mill!
The latest is coming from 1Up via some “sources directly involved with the new system”.
First of all it wont be the PSP2 – According to 1Up’s sources, Sony is dropping numerical titles, such as PSP 2 or PSP-4000 for real, proper words.
Three rumored names include PSP Slide, PSP Flip, and PSP Go!,
Go! seems like the most likely choice as Sony already has a range of PSP accessories sporting the Go! label, including the Go!Cam camera and Go!View video on-demand service.
So, PSP GO! could be the next gen handheld gaming machine from Sony
The UMD is out, replaced instead with options for either 8GB or 16GB of built-in flash memory.
A newly enhanced download store will take the UMD’s place, packing an extra 100 classic and brand new PSP titles to download. In fact Gran Turismo Mobile is rumoured to be one of those new launch titles.
The same D-pad, analog nub, and face button configuration remains, but they now slide out from the bottom of the unit (check out the concept pic).
Expected launch is September for Japan and late October / early November for US.
Sony’s supposedly going official with all this during its E3 press conference in early June, and for now they’re opting to give the “does not comment on rumors or speculation” response.
So, we still have to wait for E3 to find out the exact dimensions, specs and so on.
Reckon it’ll be worth the wait?
