HD video space

[Hovey]

Just wondering how much of the HD video content can be stored on the iPhone 4. It will be interesting to see, once you have all your music and media content how much actual HD video can be captured, edited, etc.......thoughts?

Can't speak for the iPhone 4, but I have an 8GB Flip Ultra HD that holds exatly 2hrs of HD video at the same res as the new HD cam on the iPhone 4.

So my guess is 8GB = 2hrs @ 720p

Editing programs will run like most apps and use additional HD space.

Not bad at all...

Maybe, but what format does the flip use? It may use avchd which is more efficient but arguably lower quality than mjeg (.mov) that apple prefers. For example, my iPad won't load avchd movies from my camera but will upload .mov movies. My Panasonic camera will record about 8 minutes of 720p in 2GB.
