The queen of cell phones, Miss Paris Hilton, sure does know her way around a BlackBerry keypad, but who knew she was so intrigued in other gadgetry goods? While at the Sundance Film Festival, Paris chatted with Virgin America's director of in-flight entertainment and partnerships, Charles Ogilvie, about the new in-flight, seat-to-seat instant messaging keyboard. She told Ogilvie that she can't wait to try out the new high-tech entertainment system on an upcoming trip to New York and on the airline’s debut of in-flight WiFi, which will happen sometime this year.
Paris was also spotted at a Philadelphia mall a week later promoting her new movie Hottie and the Nottie and showing off her photo skills with a Flip digital camcorder. . . . Now I wonder if she uploads herself, too?!
Pure Digital Kicks Off Massive Camcorder Giveaway
Starting today, Pure Digital Technologies will be launching a one million Flip Video Camcorder giveaway to benefit nonprofits worldwide. The Flip Video Spotlight program came about when former President Bill Clinton approached Pure Digital, requesting that video be used to shed light on world issues that need to be addressed. With a million pocket-sized camcorders that have built-in software for direct uploading to YouTube, the possibilities are endless for what can be achieved with this initiative. 
"We believe video can help change the world,” said Jonathan Kaplan, Chairperson and CEO of Pure Digital Technologies in a press release. "Non-profit organizations do incredible everyday work that the public rarely sees. Imagine the impact that video would make if every on-the-ground staff member or volunteer had both a camcorder and the ability to broadcast their message to the world.”
Pure Digital will distribute up to one million Flip Video Camcorders to nonprofits and other qualified non-governmental organizations (NGOs) over the next five years, starting this December. These groups will be able to use video as a tool to highlight the need for their services, better communicate with their donors, and broadcast their accomplishments to the world. Qualified nonprofits and NGOs can sign up to purchase Flip Video Spotlight Kits at Flip Video Spotlight and will receive the necessary tools to begin using video technology effectively. The massive camcorder giveaway kicks off today at the Clinton Global Initiative where the camcorders will be distributed to each of the current and former heads of state and other leaders. How cool is that?!

Pure Digital Introduces The Flip Video Ultra Series

After falling in love with the user-friendly Pure Flip video camera, I was happy to learn that Pure Digital Technologies has just come out with the new and improved camcorder called the Flip Video Ultra Series. The ultra series, pocket-size cam comes in five chic colors including lime green, pink, orange, black and the traditional white and includes built-in software for direct uploading to AOL and YouTube. What's especially great about this camera, and Pure video cameras in general, is their ability to capture high-quality sound and video which can easily be edited and shared no matter where you are.
The 60-minute (2GB) model is priced at $179.99 and is available in four colors -- white, black, orange and pink, while the 30-minute (1GB) model is $149.99 and comes in white and black. You can currently purchase them at Amazon, Best Buy, BestBuy.com, and Costco, and in due time Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Target.com and CompUSA. Stay tuned for fun Flip accessories as well!!
Flip Video Camera: Capture Summer Moments
You've probably noticed the ads for the new Flip Video camera across the The Sugar Network recently. To thank Pure Digital Technologies for their sponsorship, I thought I would take a minute to remind you that the beginning of summer means juggling BBQs, graduations and family functions every weekend. If you're like me and slightly tired of taking digital pictures that don't exhibit the laughter and fun your family has together, or those first steps your niece is about to take, the Flip Video camera is the perfect device to capture the more lively summer moments.
The Flip Video has garnered a lot of attention for being sleek, light, and inexpensive in comparison to larger video cameras. Also, the quality of the footage is comprable to other, more expensive camcorders. All of that is awesome, but I fell in love with it because it's just plain simple to use and widely available. On top of the usual "power," "play," "delete," and "record" buttons, it features a built-in Flip Video software program that launches directly from the camcorder (see the flip out USB arm? It plugs right into your computer). This means you can easily upload videos onto your computer or YouTube without the hassle of buying additional software.
You can get your own Pure Digital Flip Video Camera online and in stores at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Costco and Red Envelope. Learn more here.
