Mysterious Flip Minos spotted

Inexpensive pocket video cameras have been such a hit that many companies, including Creative, have launched their own colorful pocket cams for the YouTube generation. Oprah even showcased the Ultra Flip Video camera on her program to show how easy it was to upload video to YouTube and to record behind-the-scenes footage for her YouTube channel.

In order to keep up with the competition, the Ultra Flip-Video camera is about to get a mini makeover. Crave recently spotted a thinner Flip camera called Minos in a B&H catalog after a reader tipped them off.

The camera will apparently be available in black and white and will cost $179.99, which leads us to believe it will be replacing the Ultra Flip-Video camera that currently sells for the same price. Flip's Minos will be in stores starting June 4, so we'll bring you more information regarding specifications as it becomes available. For now, we'll assume the camera will definitely be thinner, smaller, and will include better features than its predecessor.
