Is a flip capable of a decent time-lapse video? If not, what is?

I’ve had a Flip for several months and love it but it stores only 1 hour of video before having to be downloaded to your computer. You then erase what was on the camera and you have another hour.

26fps of decent quality, 16 hours of storage, and 16 hours of battery life is an unrealistic expectation with current consumer grade technology. Even with the epic compression codecs available, they are very expensive in terms of computational requirements, which sap the batteries.

How about using a camera that shoots in 480×360, has an expandable memory card (SDHC?) and runs on AAs or AAAs?
tbh, doesn’t sound THAT futuristic or even expensive.
Like I said, something that would be ‘capable’ somehow… hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
