I went to the Flip website. So I gather you use this instead of a camcorder? Let's say I'm around the corner on my friend's porch and I take this out of my handbag, and I aim it at everybody, I press the record button. let's say I record 5 minutes worth of stuff.

I go back home, plug it into the USB port of my tower and I can save it to my hard drive?

Is that was this little gizmo does??

There are three versions of this little thing. Does it have it's own video screen.

Tell tell tell tell.

It looks amazing. Just what I want to save up for. I never had a camcorder.

This looks so simple, I'm dying to get one.

But I want to learn how to use it first.

Thanks much.
