Its flagship model, the Flip Ultra, achieved significant market penetration, capturing approximately 13% of the camcorder market shortly after its release. The camera records video at a resolution of 640x480 pixels and operates on two AA batteries. While it lacks advanced features and expandable memory, it includes a pop-out USB connector for direct computer connection. The Flip Ultra is available in different memory sizes, retailing between $150 and $180. In 2009, Pure Digital Technologies was acquired by Cisco, which ultimately decided to discontinue the Flip line in 2011.
