iPhone gets video recording capabilities

Thanks to another set of ambitious iPhone hackers, we've officially got video on Apple's wonder-device (that somehow omitted video to begin with). It's not much right now, but if you want, you can see your phone recording five succulent seconds of real-deal video at around 15 FPS. The developers say this is just a proof of concept, and they've been able to get up to 45 FPS on the device -- so hopefully we can expect a more robust version soon (like, say, one that lets you save the recording). Check the video after the break to see the gorgeous work in action.

Wow you would think that Apple would have figured out how to record video and implement the feature in an update. Looks like the phone is called the Jesus phone because of all the people that said his name in vain when they saw the original price. LOL

I think they restricted some features on the phone just to get more "wow reactions" when they do release these features in future firmware updates--to keep the momentum going.

I agree. So it gives the impression of the phone that keeps on giving. When it should have had the updates on launch.

Oh guess what,? That dodge neon you drive, with manual locks. Yeah they're really power locks. Dodge just didn't want to give it all to you at once. So I hope you enjoyed pushing those locks for all those years when you really paid for power locks...
