Cisco Sees Flip Camera Catching on with Corporate Users

SAN JOSE, Calif -- The Flip, the pocket-sized HD video camera that is popular with high-profile video bloggers and a growing number of consumers, is finding its way into the corporates suites of Proctor & Gamble, Cisco, and other big companies as a new, easy-to-use communications tool.

Cisco bought the Flip's parent company last year. Recently the networking giant has created an ecosystem around the Flip, allowing users to upload the big files to a cloud drive and to share on a variety of devices.

Last month Daisy went to Cisco's world headquarters in San Jose for a number of interviews for Beet.TV and our syndication partner NBC Local Media.

Ken Wirt, VP of Consumer Marketing at Cisco tells Beet.TV that the Flip is a powerful tool for executives to communicate.

Reuters reports that Cisco has major upgrades to its line of servers as it is taking on cloud services competitors IBM and HP directly.

I think its a great product. I really liked that they provide a server for upload to share larger vids through e-mail. My only complaint about the flip cam is that it doesn't track very well. Its best for still shots.
