Creative Vado Pocket HD Camcorder - Whens it out?

in the last few days ive been looking at buying a pocket HD camcorder for quick point and shoot footage.

ive looked the the flip mino and the Kodak Zi6 (which looks good at sub £100)

but apparently the Vado HD supposed to be better

ive read it was supposed to be out in December but it doesn't look like it will now

anyone know when it will hit UK shops?

or does anyone recommend any other pocket HD camcorders?

Thanks

Re: Creative Vado Pocket HD Camcorder - Whens it out?

I'm interested in this as well, I've got a JVC GZ-MG330 SD camcorder reserved at Currys (£163.69 - £30 cashback from JVC) which seems like a good price but I'm worried about the lack of HD recording and am thinking perhaps I'd be better off getting something that can do 720p recording. That leaves either a HD camcorder which seem to start at about £350 ish which is more than I want to spend or something like the Flip MinoHD or the Creative Vado HD but they seem to lack many features (e.g. zoom / image stabilisation) that the SD camcorders have at a much lower price.
