I've had the Flip Ultra HD for 48hours now and couldn't be happier.

Open the box, install the batteries and you can start shooting straight away. The controls are intuitive and the instruction manual is welcome in it's brevity and ease of reference.
Connect the Ultra to your PC and the software will install straight away. I was a little concerned that the minimum system requirements (Intel 3Ghz processor) would cause an issue but my Intel 2Ghz copes admirably and the videos playback without stutter-or-stalling.
I bought the Ultra so i could have a HD recording device to hand to capture those unique moments when my eternally amusing children perform their acts of circus. We bought a camcorder a few years back for over £800 but because of it's bulky dimensions, it's literally never been used. The Ultra is the same size as a chunky nokia phone of the 2006 era and is easy to fit in your pocket and transport around - easy to get-to-hand and start shooting and capture those memorable moments: exactly why i bought it.

All in all, very happy. Only disappointment was that the Amazon product description told me that an HDMI cable would be included in the box, and it's not. Turns out that any generic HDMI cable will work, AS LONG as it has a mini-connector (type c; which fits the Ultra) and standard HDMI connector (Type A - which plugs into your HD TV). I'm off to PC World to buy one of these later. If there's any issue in playing back on the TV, I'll let you know.

Awesome product
I have had this Flip camcorder a little under a week now, using the camcorder itself could not be more simple and the results are brilliant. When I purchased the product I did not think about the accompanying software, but when I plugged the Flip into my PC the software popped up where I was able to edit my vids, taking the chunk I wanted and add a soundtrack, then upload to youtube using a link provided, not having done anything like this before and not being very technical I was kinda smug at being able to do this so easily :-) I'm really happy with this product, it's loads of fun, although now I can use youtube I'm not sure my mates feel the same way :-D

Our Flip "froze" on Day 2
Briefly, we were delighted to open the Flip (a birthday present to my husband) and to be able to use it instantly. Very easy. Good, simple design. At last a camcorder that all the family can use. We successfully viewed our footage on a MacBook. Fantastic!
However when we picked it up on day 2 of holiday the machine had frozen. We tried everything suggested by trouble-shooter, no success. Eventually found helpline - email only. Followed their suggestions, no success. We are now 3 weeks on and have had to send the Flip back to supplier (at my cost and inconvenience) and are awaiting repair or replacement. It has taken so long to sort out that we have lost that wow factor for the Flip and since discovered that there are several of these easy entry-level camcorders about. I wonder whether we bought the right one? As we purchased thru Amazon we have not been able to speak to anyone by phone so would award zero score for customer service. Holidays now over.
Very disappointing.
