'Upload Video' Screen Suggests Video Capabilities in Next iPhone
Engadget Mobile discovered an interesting screenshot from the iPhone 3.0 beta operating system that is labeled "Upload Video". The screen reportedly appears when you try to upload photos to MobileMe. While Engadget is labeling it as an interesting "typo", we feel it likely suggests that video recording and upload capabilities will arrive in the next generation iPhone which could be released as early as this summer.
There have been intermittent reports about the next iPhone revision, but few solid leads. Still, whispers have suggested that June/July is the timeframe for the next iPhone which is said to be a major upgrade over today's model. Talk of multi-core CPUs and GPUs suggest the next iPhone could be significantly more powerful than the iPhone 3G. This could pave the way for rumored features such as background processes, and even video recording. While Apple has made no references to a new hardware revision, we feel the timing of the iPhone 3.0 operating system due out this summer provides Apple an easy way to introduce a major hardware revision at the same time.
As a result, it wouldn't surprise us that this "Video Upload" screen was misplaced rather than mistyped.

Hooray. No more Cycorder. Although should video recording really require a multi-core processor? Does this mean there will be no video recording in older iPhones? If my 2G can render 3D games, it can record video. C'mon.

Yay! Looking forward to the next model, when I might finally spend some money and get a very good product. I'd imagine this wont be the last bombshell to be found. What's next.

[sarc] As an iPhone 2G owner this really really really PISSES me off. It's completely unfair of Apple to add video to new hardware and not retroactively add it to older models. I'm just outraged. [/sarc]

Video (and a better camera with flash) would make me very happy.
I think the fact that the iphone has NO FLASH is a good thing. Camera phone flashes are a waste, they do nothing.
As far as camera quality goes, its sufficient for video. I would like to see a 3-5Megapixel camera in the phone, with vga video recording (like 99% of all phones with a camera).
I simply dont think Hi res video recording is required.

I will be THRILLED if the next phone has video recording! I only bought my phone in November but if video along with these other great features are on the new phone, then it may be worth it to me to pay full price (:eek:) for the newest model
