Got a Flip, Wonder If I’ll Use This Thing or Sell it on Amazon
Posted: July 25, 2009 Filed under: Just for Fun Leave a commentYesterday when helping my Grandparents save $100 a month on their cable, phone and internet services, for signing up with Verizon’s bundle plan I received a Flip Ultra Series Camcorder. I am not sure how much I’ll use this thing, the older I get myself I see that trends come and go, and some fads take off, and some are only meant for those that they are directed towards.
In anyway, if your a video guru, like to have something compact and easy to use, this is it. I am not much into the video realm, nor do I make vlogs on my blog. But things might change, we’ll have to see just how much I use this in the next two to three months. If not, then I’ll be selling it on Amazon.
