Flip ultra video camera?

Does anyone have one of these? I bought one for my 14 yr old ds. He is constantly taking my cell phone and taking videos of him and his friends doing stunts on their bikes. Just wondered if it's good for that kind of usage or what. Thanks

We got DD the Kodak Zi8 for Christmas which got better reviews and has a little larger screen. They are using the flips at school, so I'm thinking I should have gone with that. The Kodak is pink though and that could be a selling point! She really loves using it at school.

Our district tech guy raved about it for its ease of use. Literally--point & shoot. USB is in it...you just plug it in your computer & hit "download" & voila--it's on your computer to save, burn to DVD, put on YouTube, whatever. Could not believe how easy it was!
(this is what most reporters are using these days; our tech guy uses the HD one to tape programs, board meetings to show on the cable channel)
Your DS will be thrilled!!
