HD Videos for iPhone 4

[svalentine]

I'm still waiting for my iPhone 4 to arrive. In the mean time I would like to know some HD clips/movies that really take advantage of the new screen. Maybe we can compile a list of media to really showcase the HD quality on the phone.

Here is one short film I found that can be downloaded in HD format.

Let me offer a comic-book-guy clarification that the iPhone 4, while graced with a mindblowing display, shouldn't really be characterized as "HD." In landscape mode it's 960x480, and the Harry Potter trailer I linked above presents an actual image size of 960x405, since it's letterboxed. I'd call the iPhone4 a 480p display; IMHO HD means 720p or better.

But I still think the trailer in the youtube link above looks badass on the iPhone, HD or not.

(And if you want ultra-pretty images, may I suggest my wallpaper collection.)

960x640, actually. Still not HD, but as close to 720p as it is to 480p.

960x640, actually.

Duh. Of course, I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks. Your point about being between 480p and 720p is totally fair.
