We found plenty of things not to like about the second-generation Flip MinoHD, but its sleek, compact design was not one of them. With the new SlideHD, Flip throws out this most likeable asset, preserves the ho-hum feature set, and backpedals on features like usability. The SlideHD, advertised as a kind of pocket camcorder and TV in one, adopts a slide-out three-inch screen for sharing videos, along with 16GB of internal memory for up to four hours of recording. While clever in theory, the touch screen mucks up formerly idiot-proof controls, fattens the whole device, and at $280, drives price right to the edge of "real camcorder" territory.
