App Store Video Recorder?

Hopefully it will be included in the new 2.0 update. That would be great.

It won't be in the 2.0 software and even though a video recorder should be on the iPhone, I don't see one being available anytime soon. It sucks, because this phone has alot more potential.

That's not at all true from what I hear. Sure there isn't an API that allows you to directly contact the camera and modify the settings to allow for capturing video, but with a little code of your own you could get it running as a video camera. In essence, if apple doesn't say you can't do it, you can totally do it even if they didn't make it easy.

Unfortunately, you can't. Apple specifically states that developers are not allowed to access any undocumented features, and there are a whole TON of ones they left undocumented. People who jailbreak have access to all of them, so they will always be able to do a lot more than official SDK developers. I think all the SDK lets you do with the camera is tell it to take a picture, and then you can grab that picture from Photos; sure you could use that to make movies, but you would get a horrible framerate, and your iPhone would get chock full of pictures since every frame of video that was captured would also end up in your Photos (SDK doesn't let you do anything with Photos but grab them, no deleting "temporary" pics).

It's very possible that Apple could add new functionality later, but so far in the beta they've *removed* features developers could access, not added any.

shoooot...the iPhone should have a built in video camera instead of paying!

there should definitely be a video recorder app...but it should be free!

Its $20 for Christ's sake. Programmers need to earn a living as well.
