More iPhone Features Coming? Video Recording on iPhone?

[MacRumors]

Pocket-lint.co.uk reports that Apple has confirmed that "plenty more upgrades" are coming for the Apple iPhone.

"All the complaints and feature requests we've had can be fixed and added by software upgrades", a spokesman for the company told Pocket-lint.

Some even suggest that Apple is spacing out updates intentionally to provide gradually added functionality over months. One insider even claims that Apple is planning on adding video functionality with Youtube upload integration:

"They [Apple] aren't stupid. They won't want to give you everything at once. You wait, there will an exciting partnership with YouTube that adds video functionality and then lets you upload to the site in no time", an industry insider told Pocket-lint.

Ha ha!

It's hard to be patient, but that's the price we pay for hanging on to these "rumo(u)rs" I suppose.

I would like the addition of video recording.

for some reason i found this really funny.. anyway.. lol, ive had the iphone for a month, and i can honestly say it is by far the best thing i have ever owned.. i mean, yeah, there are a few setbacks, but they arent enough to make me use a phone that isnt an iphone

google owns youtube right? In that case they are already teamed up with youtube right? Video recording is something I really wish was on this baby. Makes me cringe to see the crapp videos my freinds take with their razrs knowing if only my phone took video...is that really only a software update though?

Should only be a software update being as a still digital camera takes stills of video. Basically, the camera streams whatever it sees, but only takes still clips. A software update would allow it to record continuous frames of the stream.

wow, now this is just what i want: video recording. especially since i always have my phone with me

Maybe we won't see video recording untill second gen iphone

Agreed.
I having a sneaking suspicion we won't see some of the iPhone's glaring holes filled until v2 comes out.
As far as video is concerned: I'm no technician, but is video functionality as "simple" as a software update? No hardware update required?

Yes. Blackberry is adding video capabilities to their Curve phone through a software update.

Hope they don't drag out the feature cycle tooooo long.

if they give me Video Recording and Picture messaging in this iPhone. I would buy another iPhone, just to show how much I appreciated it cause those are 2 KEY features for me that those free phones do and my god damn $600 phone does. not. do

Sending multiple text messages would be cool too (when you gotta tell a few people the same thing, sucks typing it over and over) but again, if they give me video recording (let alone, uploading to YouTube) and picture messages (so I can finally cancel my Verizon phone) ill be soooo ever sooo ever sooo happy

You and me are on EXACTLY the same page....
I felt like I wrote that post for a second =)

I really don't want to see ANY new features added to the phone UNTIL they add VOICE DIALING!. Voice dialing is a safety issue and safety issues should come FIRST!

What's the marketing advantage of dragging out the most in-demand features, FLASH, mail-mass-delete, MMS....? Or dragging out bug-fixes like iPod that doesn't crash when surfing...?

Mine can do both at the same time.

Hasn't happened since 1.1.1.

Calm down dude. Do your research and don't read too much into that comment. The iPhone should be able to play music and surf the web at the same time just fine, but what with it being a first gen product it's been known to wig out at times when there's too much going on. Like another poster says, bugs like that have been getting fixed with each update, which is generally what updates are for - not for adding the functionality that should really have been there from day one. But hey. At least they're adding this stuff.

Try Troll FUD. You can listen to music and surf the internet just fine. I hope that Apple builds in voice recognition soon. And, is it just me, but don't you think that Apple could sell a lot more copies of iLife if they made Garage Band able to convert your songs to ringtones?

Not sure but it's probably to give devs time to hammer out the bugs. The less you have to work on simultaneously, the more time you have to spend on other things.
