I got the Flip Mino HD for Christmas... the Flip is easier to use, faster to get the vids onto my computer with less editing, and most importantly, the video quality is noticeably better.
I swear by the Flip Mino HD. I did buy some software to edit it (although the Flip has its own). If you don't have an affiliate you can buy it through my site at http://bestflipcamera.com and make my wife happy!)
