And it works well!
Creative today announced their second-generation line of Vado HD pocket camcorders. The most interesting tidbit is the new Mac-friendlier Vado Central software, which allows for easy direct transfer to iMovie. Even better, that software will also work for older Vados.

Featuring a slim 10mm aluminum-magnesium frame, the T8 doesn’t seem to have multitouch, but it will play back RMVB, AVI, FLV, WMV, MPG, MP4, DAT, and 3GP on its 4.3″ WQVGA (480×272) display (or through built-in TV-out). And with the 32GB version costing just US$219, you know you’re tempted to find out how well this thing would actually work. [Zol via PMPToday]
