Review: Flip MinioHD – The Next Generation

Review: Flip MinioHD – The Next Generation
We’ve checked out some of the previous incarnations of Flip Video camera when they hit Canadian store shelves and had seen a lot of potential in the product line early on.

Review: Living Colours

Review: Living Colours
We first saw the Philips living Colours in 2006 when it was still a concept design and fell in love instantly. It looked fantastic and was such an exciting idea.
