I believe Apple would include video recording capabilities
I believe Apple would include video recording capabilities, this would boost iPhone sales to the next level.
Consider that many end-users do not have a decent video recording device that it's portable, yeah I know, many cellphone has video recording but what about capacity?
With next iPhone boosting storage to 32GB (for high-end models) video recording would be logical.
Also, I can't wait to see Apple incorporate iChat AV Mobile on iPhone, and releasing iChat AV for Windows, this would be a killer...
That'll help Apple to expand their footprint within the PC world or Windows arena.

I'm banking on O2 allowing upgrades with an extension to the contract, just like they did when the iPhone 3G was launched.
Since both versions of the current iPhones can record video, I hope that this new video recording software is available to everyone. However, I'm worried that it'll only be available to purchasers of v3.
Well, I was already excited about the inclusion of copy and paste. Everything else is vegan gravy.
Well there has to be some difference between iPhone versions...
Probably but you'll likely have to pay a higher price - maybe a variable price dependent on how long you've have your 3G iPhone. They did subsidise the 3G phone after all. This wasn't a problem with the 2G iPhone to 3G upgrade since they didn't pay for the 2G phones in the first place.
Marketing marketing, that's the way of the technological world.
I was wondering whether Apple has had these "new" features for a while. As many have mentioned, most smart phones have had MMS, cut/copy/paste, video recording, etc. so I'd be surprised if Apple released the iPhone without planning on releasing these features sometime down the road as it would be a bit of a gamble on not knowing if they would work in a multi-touch platform. Holding these features back and releasing them slowly seems to be a good strategy at keeping iPhone sales strong.
Welcome to the world of business, you don't release a product with all the functions known to mankind, you need to find a way for people to upgrade.
It is, and people are really missing the significance of this. Video recording is hardly the exciting part of this find. The magnetometer is the early tech that will help the iPhone become a true augmented reality device.
You are kidding right? What exactly would a magnetometer do other than act as a compass? It seems like Apple would want more out of something like that? Ideas? Improved GPS or Turn-by-turn?
exactly... first iphone = the hype = sold
3G = hm i don't know
new iphone = wow-effect is even bigger...
Looking forward to June
my current contract runs out in June on my original iPhone.
Looking forward to my next upgrade.

Zoom in on photos...
I've been thinking about it and wouldn't it be cool if you could zoom in/out when taking a picture or (in the future) video. Simply pinch in or out. Thoughts?

Can't see any jailbroken 3G'ers making the jump on this. Though it would be nice to have all these features officially 
Awesome. Maybe it'll be finally worth it to buy an iPhone. A better camera would certainly be welcome.
I get calls from O2 just about every 2nd day offering to upgrade my original iPhone to a 3G
and on the days they don't call I get text messages.
Can't wait for June
Can't wait for June
Imagine the possibilities...
With what the founder of the Flip camera's comments today about a wifi-based flip camera and now this, can you all imagine how much video is going to be uploaded to YouTube come this June/July?!?!? HELLO user-created content!
