I've posted the HD video file to megaupload as well in case anybody needs another mirror.

agreed....
WTB: Footage starting indoors panning around the room, then walking outdoors and panning around again.
Happens when you pan with a phone camera, but you should be using a good video player like VLC.
Awesome. For a cellphone, I think it's great.
A poor-man's steadicam will greatly help, as will tripods, since there isn't any anti-shake feature in the phone.
iMovie might cut down on it a little, but it's best to prevent it to begin with.
As for the exposure... he was in bright daylight filming into shadows... it is what it is... pretty damn good.
Thanks!

Yeah I was pretty impressed. I wish I had gotten it first so I could have posted tons more examples since the California sun right now is pretty great for shooting video.
A Flip cam is useless at this point except as a backup if your phone gets confiscated.
Not really news, that is almost exactly the same as a Flip HD. About 4GB for an hour of video.
Yeah and few people take an hour a video, even in an entire day. 3-4 hours of video by using the iPhone with the least capacity is more than enough for almost everybody.
I think there will still be a very big market for the Flip... especially for outdoor enthusiasts who like to document moderate to extreme activities in varying conditions.
I'd rather not take my iPhone 4 kitesurfing... the replacement cost is a little on the high side for me, let alone there's a lack of quality sporting/outdoor accessories and enclosures for iPhones.
As for file size... this is why I've been encouraging anyone I know who is interested in the 4 to go with the 32gig version... digital video eats up bytes -- though I agree, a gig/hour for 720p is pretty reasonable.

i agree.
i do a lot of bike riding and snowboarding and i've taken some spills that i wouldn't want to take while shooting with an iphone.
the flip will serve as a good alternative for i want to be more careful with my phone.
Does anyone know how long a video clip you can make? Is it only 30 seconds? I was hoping for unlimited based on how much space is left on the iPhone...anyone have any updates on this?
Umm, it's a huge jump... 720p.
You might not notice it in the advertising and on youtube, but with the native *.mov file, it's night and day.
There are links to native files on here already... be warned though, they're big files.
