NOTE: This contest is over, but you can enter our newest contest and get a chance at winning one of three new MP3 players.
ArsGeek’s rapidly approaching it’s first full year on the web! To celebrate we want to give away something really cool. And what could be cooler than a 60 minute Flip Video digital camcorder from Pure Digital Technologies?
You can read my reviews on the Flip here and here. Trust me when I tell you that you’ll love this little DVR. It’s easy, fun and most of all exceeded all of my expectations for a $150 camcorder.
So how do you win? It’s simple! Leave a comment on this post and you’ll get one entry towards winning this handy little camcorder. A winner will be drawn at random on Thursday, May 31st and announced on the site that day.
Want to score some more entries? If you write a short bit linking to this contest post and to my main page from your website or blog, you’ll get an additional two entries for a total of 3 entries in this contest.
To clarify, you’ll need to write a short bit about our contest, and link to http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=1741 and to our main page at http://www.arsgeek.com. Feel free to grab our logo!
Once you’ve done this, use our contact page to send us the URL where we can find your post. Anyone who gets extra entries by linking to us will also receive a link back from us in a post on the main page and also on our linkback page. We’ll be checking each page before we assign extra entries.
Here are the rules:
- You can’t work for ArsGeek or Pure Digital Technologies.
- When posting a comment or emailing us your link, you must use a valid email. This is how we’ll get in touch with you to let you know if you’ve won and find out where to ship the prize!
- Our decision about the prize winner is final.
- We’ll ship this to your door but can’t guarantee that it will make it there in one piece. Sometimes accidents or the USPS happens.
- You’ve got to be a resident of the US or Canada. Sorry to those who live outside these boundaries.
Don’t want to wait until the contest ends? The 30 minute Flip Video camcorder is on sale at Best Buy for $99 through May 27th.
Here’s how we’ll pick a winner. Each entry will receive a random number. At the time of the drawing, one number will be pulled and matched with the contestant’s entry. That contestant will be contacted via email and we’ll ship out the camcorder.

Very cool site Arsgeek.
I am a wanna be Mac guy but haven’t taking the plunge yet.
Had no idea you had such cool stuff here!
Will definitely be back.

May 23rd, 2007 at 4:26 am
I want one too!
Good Luck 2 all!.
May 23rd, 2007 at 5:16 am
Nice device. I want one too.
May 23rd, 2007 at 9:12 am
I enjoy reading Arsgeek. The articles are informed and to the point, as an additional plus the ever present spelling mistakes tend to be very amuzing, case in point:
“We’ll ship this TOO your door…”
May 23rd, 2007 at 9:25 am
(sigh) Spelling (or word choice for multiple spellings) has never been my strong sweet.
May 23rd, 2007 at 3:14 pm
hmmm, just read the whole text. You’re going to have to count me out of the competition…I’m from the Czech Republic, currently residing in Germany (neither of them being in the US or Canada :D) Although!…since you probably cant buy this little gem in Europe, I’d definitely be willing to pay for p&p if I was to win…
May 23rd, 2007 at 5:21 pm
Wow. That’s one heck of a prize. I hope I win it!
May 23rd, 2007 at 6:28 pm
This looks to be a sweet little unit! Love the built in USB. Happy Anniversary and many more to come!!! I want to win this beauty!!
May 23rd, 2007 at 6:39 pm
I just love the size of this camcorder
Happy Anniversary!
May 24th, 2007 at 5:13 am
Please throw my name into the hat for this baby, I want it!
Happy Anniversary. I love this place and love the ever-coming articles. Fun AND informative.

I’m not that technical, so this may be a duh question, but can you burn the video to a DVD? Thanks!
May 24th, 2007 at 10:10 am
Hi Andrea,
Not directly from the player. But if you have a DVD burner and some software on your computer you certainly can.
You can also bring it to a number of retail locations and get a 1 hour DVD for $12.99.

That’s pretty nifty. I’ll have to check those out next time I’m at the store.
May 24th, 2007 at 5:36 pm
These are neat little things!

I am leaving a comment because ArsGeek rocks
“you’ll need to write a short bit about our contest, and link to http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=1741 and to our main page at http://www.arsgeek.com. Feel free to grab our logo!”
May 25th, 2007 at 8:05 am
Ooo totally looks cute!
May 25th, 2007 at 11:20 am
Wow, can’t believe my comment never showed up. I posted your contest on my blog couple of days ago and posted a comment here with the link and everything. But somehow it’s gone! Good thing I checked back.
Once again, Congrats!! I enjoyed being here and will keep coming back, contest or no contest
Here’s the link to my blog post about your contest : http://abookwormsdiary.blogspot.com/2007/05/win-flip-video-digital-camcorder-from.html
May 25th, 2007 at 12:33 pm
Just saw the posting on Productivitytalk.Com. I want one of these camcoreders and since I just lost production time looking at all the posts, I certainly can’t afford to buy it!
Keep up the great work!
May 25th, 2007 at 1:23 pm
I just caught this link from another story Lifehacker linked to. For a second I though you were using Moveable Type for this blog, but as soon as I mouse over the logo link, it was clear that WordPress was the real “culprit”.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
I found this via your tip to remove the Accessibility.api file from Reader. Great tip! Thanks!
May 25th, 2007 at 7:01 pm
wow! i would luv one of that! =]

Why has nobody come up with this before? It’s downright brilliant.

Cool little camcorder.
January 28th, 2008 at 10:55 pm

That’s a cool looking gadget. Shame it’s too late to enter the comp
January 30th, 2008 at 6:41 am
This really is fantastic stuff!!!
Would have been happy to sign up. Hmmm… it’s 2 late for me
February 17th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
I must say the information is good, but I wish I would, if you may still be withholding some information. Some experience is always good, but I would like to seek other opinions.
February 17th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
I am well and truly gone. Your blog is one of the few who are so well established. They also have well-structured. So it is really nothing wrong.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
very cool men
March 26th, 2008 at 1:38 am
If you’re an avid PS3 gamer, then you know the importance of saving your progress for future game play.
Pls, help me!
April 16th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Awww is this made by Apple?? The white plastic really makes it look like that…
But honestly, isn’t “flip” a kinda *bad* name for your tech product?!
IMO camtech or stuff would be way better!

April 15th, 2009 at 8:57 am
I can tell that this is not the first time at all that you mention this topic. Why have you decided to touch it again?
July 18th, 2009 at 9:22 am
Hi dear,
I have no idea.
But it’s very cool. Next time i will check in the store, Thanks for share it.
