The Eye-Fi Pro 4GB now includes "Selective Transfer", which allows users to choose which photos and/or videos are uploaded.  This bypasses the issue with the older cards where every shot was transferred; according to Eye-Fi all users will now be able to use Selective Transfer, not just those with the Pro 4GB.  Images are selected by locking them through the camera's own menus.

Flip Video Ultra HD review

, May 13th 2009 Discuss [0]

Flip Video carved a niche for themselves with point-and-shoot camcorders, and it’s a niche which soon got crowded as rival firms offered their own entry-level devices.  The launch of the Mino HD late last year kicked things into 720p high-definition, while squeezing the camcorder down into a super-pocketable size; now the bigger Ultra model gets its own high-def upgrade, in the shape of the Flip Video Ultra HD.  Is there still a place in the range for the chunkier Ultra HD?  SlashGear set to finding out.
