Linking to the KODAK PLAYFULL Dual Camera here to keep track of it.
Looks like a great replacement for the Kodak Zi8.
Update 2/9/12:
Looks like this camera might never come out. :-(
Update on Kodak's TransformationThis new camera had some cool features.
Kodak plans to phase out of the market for dedicated capture devices – digital cameras, pocket video cameras and digital picture frames – during 2012 to focus its Consumer Business on desktop inkjet, online and retail-based printing – areas that offer the most significant opportunities for profitable growth. Kodak will continue to offer camera accessories and batteries, which are universally compatible with other brands.
We appreciate you choosing Kodak products. Please be assured that we will continue to honor all warranties, and provide technical support and service for our cameras, pocket video cameras and frames.
Questions:

Kodak just introduced new digital cameras and a pocket video camera at CES. Will those still be available?
Kodak will work closely with its retail partners to ensure an orderly transition for the benefit of consumers and our partners. However, it is likely that some of the products announced at CES will not be launched.
Can I continue to purchase Kodak cameras, pocket video cameras and frames?
Yes. Kodak will continue to sell its remaining inventory of cameras, pocket video cameras and frames.
Will you continue to support the Pulse digital frame solution and Share Button software for customers who did and will purchase those products?
Yes, Kodak will maintain the Pulse network solution and Share Button solution for customers who purchased the products as legally required by local country regulations.

Maybe dedicated pocket HD video cameras are being supplanted by devices like the iPhone?
What do you think?
