One is that while in the abstract, I like this deal, I still can not figure out if Cisco's strategy in consumer space amounts to buying a bunch of disparate chicken parts (albeit with channel, brand, marketing leverage) or truly is a more than the sum of the parts strategy to assemble a living, breathing chicken (metaphorically speaking). Two is that my litmus test for products like these are if my kids take to it naturally (e.g., my three year old is addicted to my iPod touch). Along these lines, I bought my six year old a Flip Mino, and he took to it like a fish to water. Software works great, brain dead simple and quality is in the "good enough" bucket. Btw, totally different angle on Flip Video, but check out my post: Flip Video News - Crowd Sourcing meets CNN. (http://bit.ly/foo0) Leverages the legions of Robert Scobles (and Kara Swishers) out there. Cheers, Mark Two comments, Kara.
