Wow, Apple is definitely easing up on App Store rejections this Christmas. Only days after allowing a video streaming app, Apple just accepted an app that allows those of you with an iPhone 2G or 3G to take videos.
The app, iVideoCamera, is very limited for now as it only takes 3 frames per second for no more than a minute. However the developers are working on improving it and we can only expect many more apps of this kind to hit the App Store soon.
Here is the official description :
The iVideoCamera lets your record a short video on any phone. Now you don’t need a 3GS to record and share videos with your friends and family. Works with any 2G or 3G phone with 3.1 OS installed and includes:
Ability to save to your camera roll or “Photos” and share via:
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- Twitter and more coming soonNow you dont need to be jealous of your 3GS friends – you can now shoot and share video and dont need to spend all that money (in these economic times)
NOTE: Requires OS 3.1 so if you dont have it upgrade now.
** LIMITATIONS **
- The iPhone can only capture about 3 frames per second
- Videos are limited to about 1 minute in length
- Resolution is low: 160×213** IF YOU HAVE A 3GS YOU DON’T NEED THIS APP **
You already have a video recorder!
It comes as a nice alternative to the jailbreak app cycorder, the quality might not be as good but the sharing features are very much welcome.
“Video Recorder 3G” app records at 15 fps on a 3G iPhone, so there is more than this guys can do for sure
not the lovely smooth 30fps 3GS Video capabilities, but, 50% if better than 10%
Usually I’d agree that something is better than nothing, but 3 FPS is likely to be more frustrating than most can tolerate. I hope the developer can boost the frame rate.
The Ustream Broadcaster can record video locally, which saves the video in an FLV file to be uploaded to YouTube or Ustream. Not a very high framerate, but still records video on my 3G.
Yea. Ustream Broadcaster can record locally as well as live.
It’s a great start, cany wait for the update. Thank You!
i was just messing around on itunes and it looks like there’s another recording app. it’s more or less the same as this one, except it can record unlimited video and saves instantly.
however, it doesn’t save the videos to the photos or lets you export yet. the frame rate looks to be about the same. could be another option if someone wants to take longer video. i think i’m gonna hang onto both to see what updates come from them. this one is 99 cents as well.
