Cisco to shut Flip camcorder business


Flip camera 2

NEW YORK: Cisco Systems Inc, one of the titans of the technology industry, is going to kill its Flip Video, the most popular videocamera in the United States, just two years after it bought the startup that created it.

It appears to be a case of a big company proving a poor custodian of a small one, even one that makes a hit product. Cisco never meaningfully integrated the Flip Video into its main business of making computer networking gear.
