This Flip Video remote, pictured in an FCC application, is as big as the Flip Video camcorders maker Pure Digital peddles, so we can’t see how it’d be a sensible add-on for anything in its current line. That leads to only one conclusion: the Flip Video remote heralds a whole different type of video box incoming from Pure.

There’s nothing definite, but we’d hazard that it could be fore a Flip Video set top box. Pure Digital was bought out by networking behemoth Cisco earlier this year, and the giant has been pushing into wireless home entertainment for some time, so it’d be a logical step.
Could a Flip Video box and a new camcorder that hooks up wirelessly be on the cards? It could make automatic upload of videos onto YouTube and its ilk even easier too. We’ll let you know as soon as a bigger Flip Video brother gadget strolls through the FCC too.
