One of these Flip Video things they have on Amazon might be up your alley.

I've want to find someplace locally that I
can touch one and see the actual image quality.
I was looking at them as something I can throw in a bag,
and on the off chance it gets mashed I'm not out $600.

Their site says they have them at target and
best buy but I haven't been there to check yet.
Maybe you've seen them already if you've been to best buy though.
I'd be interested to know if you saw them and ruled it out for some reason.
