SAN JOSE, Calif. - April 12, 2011 - As part of the company's comprehensive plan to align its operations, Cisco today announced that it will exit aspects of its consumer businesses and realign the remaining consumer business to support four of its five key company priorities – core routing, switching and services; collaboration; architectures; and video. As part of its plan, Cisco will:


Close down its Flip business and support current FlipShare customers and partners with a transition plan.



bottom line...not making them any more, support will end 12/31/2013..cameras will continue to be sold while supplies last...I guess knowing you've got 2 years of support is pretty good in terms of technology and by then there will be a new product that will be better but I do find it disheartening...thoughts? comments? jm

The cynic in me thinks that Cisco is holding back the technology they WERE going to introduce in the newest version of the Flip they just killed (see Razal's post to my thread on the Tragic Death of the Flip) so they can use it in other products for which they can charge a lot more $$$.
