Rather than just ‘kill’ the product, why not find a buyer, as you mention?
Is there another issue behind the death of the Flip? Flip seems more robust in terms of video recording than smartphones/cells …
Why the real reason for the ‘kill’? Infringement somewhere, anywhere?
In this economy, some money as spin-off/sell-off, is much better than no money ..

I missed the whole owned by Cisco thing too.
I think that trying to compare the Flip with a smart phone is not a good comparison, as the capabilities and quality are different.
Think that your suggestion for a spin off was a much better idea than killing it.
They had better focus on the enterprise, because if I ever associate them with another consumer product, I will run the other way.
