Creative has rolled out its latest Vado Pocket Video Cam, which is apt to its name and is compact enough to fit into the palm of your hand, your purse, your pocket, or just about anywhere. Creative boasts that the Vado Pocket Video Cam will transform the way video is captured, shared and stored by making it fast, easy and fun.

The uber slim and lightweight video camera has the ability to capture high-quality videos. Just press a button to make immortal life’s spontaneous moments.

The Vado Pocket Video Cam comes in two colors, silver and hot pink, thereby appealing to both, the chic as well as the colorful individuals.

Be it your wedding day, your child’s first steps, adventure trips or just about anything, the Creative Vado Pocket Video Cam promises to be your faithful accompaniment throughout. Creative’s President and COO Craig McHugh takes this view further, stating, “We’re making shooting and sharing video as easy as taking pictures with a point-and-shoot portable digital camera. The Vado is so small and lightweight that you can have it in your pocket so it’s always there, or you can just set it on your coffee table so everyone in the family can use it. It’s so inexpensive and easy to use that you don’t have to worry. It’s always ready to capture spontaneous moments that are once in a lifetime, the type you can’t plan for in advance. The Vado doesn’t need tapes or discs; it can record up to two hours of high-quality video on its built-in 2GB of memory and it has a removable rechargeable battery, so you can shoot two hours of video on a single charge and you don’t have to hassle with disposable batteries.

Just as the Vado makes it super easy and quick to shoot video, it makes it incredibly easy and fast to get the videos off the camera. It has a built-in USB connector so you can just plug it into your PC, just like you would with a thumb drive. The Vado has a software program built right into it that will prompt you to copy the video, or you can just drag the videos directly to your PC. With one easy step, the software can take you to YouTube or Photobucket so you can easily post your videos. When you want to share your videos with only friends and family, you can use Box.net, where they can either view or download a copy of the video. Box.net provides online storage and creates a web link to videos you’ve uploaded, so you can share them with anyone.”
