The Flip camera is a very small digital video camera that can be slipped in a purse or pocket and flipped on at a moment's notice. The camera offers software called "Flipshare" allowing even the most novice users to create video clips and Flip movies. They can then be emailed and viewed by anyone, even if they don't have a Flip camera or the software. Read on for how to email Flip videos.
