Pure Digital Technologies has introduced Flip Video, a new line of digital camcorders designed to seamlessly upload directly to YouTube and other online video sharing sites.

Flip Video’s built-in software allows people to share videos as easily as they would digital photos. In addition to instant emailing, the program allows videos to be uploaded directly to popular Internet video sharing sites, including YouTube.

“Flip Video is a new breed of camcorder that recognizes and leverages the tremendous demand for video sharing.” said Kelly Liang, Business Development, YouTube. “Not only does Flip Video make it easy to capture video, it also makes it simple to instantly share it with friends, family or the world via YouTube.”

Can a WiFi version be far off?

The camcorder retails at $119.99 for the 30-minute model and $149.99 for the 60-minute model.
