The Oxford English Dictionary says the word "gadget" is a placeholder name for a technical item whose precise name one can't remember. Like that book-reader thingy from Amazon...what's it called? Spindle, Gindle...Kindle, that's it. Check it out in this month's gadget issue.
Other gadgets covered include the Nokia tablets, the BlackBerry, the Neo FreeRunner, the Dash Express, the Roku Netflix Player, the Kangaroo TV, The TomTom GO 930 and the MooBella Ice Cream System. On the larger hardware front, read the reviews of the Acer Aspire One and the YDL PowerStation. On the software front, check out the articles and columns on memcached, Samba security, Mutt, desktop gadgets, bash and Puppet. To wrap it all up, read Doc's thoughts on Google and the browser platform.
Was the sound also from the Flip?
On August 13th, 2008 Gregg (not verified) says:
I'm guessing that it wasn't. It sounded too good. I have a Flip Ultra, and while the built in mic is good, it's not that good. You probably used a separate device to capture the sound. If that's the case, you should have made that clear in the video. As it is this video is going to mislead a lot of people as to the sound recording capability of the Flip.
It WAS the Flip
On August 13th, 2008 Shawn Powers says:
Absolutely without question. The only voiceover work was when I was recording the Flip with my camcorder (I was certain no one would think I was recording that footage with the Flip itself, audio or video).
Seriously, I did the whole thing with just the Flip.
