Flip Camcorder Stole 13% of Market, May Have Also Stolen Software

The Flip camcorder won our hearts with a stripped down, value priced approach to home video. However, a company called Advanced Video Technologies (AVT) has filed suit claiming that the company behind the Flip stole their patented Full Duplex Single Chip Video Codec compression software.

Just don't expect to share pristine quality video, since it's still lower res than a standard camcorder. [Mossy Solution]
