    Last one I had was a few years ago and the quality sucked. Not really going to miss it.

    The quality of the HD versions was probably better than most cell phones. However cell phones are catching up fast.......so perhaps Chambers saw the writing on the wall for the Flip. Still, I suspect there will be a rush to buy up the remaining stock of the current Flip product line.
