As listeners and readers might recall, I had the opportunity to check out the Flip Mino last June and wrote a review. Now the folks at Flip have upped the ante with the Flip Mino HD.

The device is exactly the same size and configuration as the previous version but the on-board storage was raised to 4GB to enable it to store 60 minutes of H.264 video footage in HD (720p 9Mbps VBR).

Flip is now offering to customize the device and is offering a special line-up of Valentine’s Day themes as well as others and also allows you to upload your own image to be added to the device via their design center.

The Flip Mino was fun, the Flip Mino HD is the same kind of fun with added video quality in the form of 720p High Definition video which looks VERY good.

Here is a test video I shot of Peter Hughes during the Infoshot segment of the show last night.

Technology Bytes hosts Jay Lee and Dwight Silverman have been nominated in the 2008 Statesman Texas Social Media Awards.

There are 125 nominees.

A panel of Statesman judges will choose from these nominations a list of the Top 25 social media users in Texas. Each person on that list will be recognized by the Statesman with an award, a badge for that winner’s blog and free tickets to a bash that they’re throwing around the same time as South by Southwest (these awards are not affiliated with SXSW).

An overall winner will be named at that time, too.

If you have a moment and the inclination please go to the nominee site and make a comment as this is something the judges will use to make their final determination. You can comment on Dwight’s nomination by clicking here and Jay Lee’s nomination by clicking here.
