I tripod is no problem, but no mic connections as far as I know. The also make all kinds of cool accessories now like mounts for your mountain bike or waterproof housings for waterskiers or sufers in the crowd - and I made a quick windshield mount with a spare GPS suction bracket.

Michael - I have viewed videos played from the camera directly on the TV and they look very good and would imagine you'd get the same quality if burned onto a cd or dvd.

Editing with the basic software they give you is somewhat limited, but using a 3rd party program shouldn't be a problem.

Mill Myers has some great videos including this one about the flip on youtube.
