Flip has just announced the UK release of the MinoHD which, as you might guess, is an HD version of the Flip video camera.
Unfortunately it still doesn't permit the use of an external mic and the battery life has been effectively halved, but it does record in true 720p HD. The viewscreen on the camera is the same as the one on the SD versions of the Flip, so you won't see any difference while you're recording. Another improvement: there's a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. The downside: it's not replaceable. This comparison with the regular Flip is quite impressive (NB: you have to click on the HD or HQ buttons at the bottom of frame once you've started playing the video to see the difference).
