So riddle me this: A business that generates an estimated $400 million in revenue, with 550 employees, and which sells an iconic product that was regularly praised as a model of innovation, is going to be shut down. In an analysis of Cisco’s decision to shut down its Flip video recorder division, the New York Times reported April 12, 2011, that the networking giant had finally given up on a business that, at one point, was destined to bring it to relevance in consumer markets (along with networking gear company Linksys). The company was purchased just two years ago for $590 million.
