Introducing the Lily Camera



Amazing, another game changer. Lily is not the first one of its kind but it is waterproof so that makes it a leader. Plus it has the camera built in, GoPro that is a tough act to follow, $399 for a GoPro or a preorder of $499 for the Lily, ouch.

HEXO+ is another camera but it pricey and you have to have a camera to capture video. If this is the way it is heading I would be surprised if GoPro does not come to market with one in the very near future.



The only problem I see is that I have to have a tracking device, why not just use your mobile phone?





Many companies have missed the changed in consumer patterns and have never recovered, I hope GoPro can make the switch.
