FlipShare TV Media Extender Expands Flip Ecosystem
When you have over three million user base, there's a untapped revenue source from selling accessories to this big crowd. Cisco-owned Pure Digital - selling millions of Flip camcorders in just 3 years - takes the opportunity to make a media extender-type device that seamlessly streams your video library in FlipShare software to a TV, and it expects to be a sales hit.
So, this product, aptly named FlipShare TV, works exclusively with various Flip camcorders, whose recorded content can be played back on a TV wirelessly without the chore of video re-encoding and hassle of setting up the network. The remote unit connects to a TV either via HDMI or composite, and the USB dongle is actually a 802.11n adapter with reconfigured adhoc settings. There's also a remote control for navigating through your own video list or checking out video channels shared by other proud Flip camcorder owners. As the FlipShare TV is about simplicity, it's tailored to Flip owners without the knowledge and equipment to share media in their living room. For these people, it maybe worth $149.99.
