iPhone 4 LED Flashlight, iMovie and iWork for iPhone 3GS
We knew it had to happen. One developer has made a video demonstrating their Flashlight app for the iPhone 4. Unlike the countless Flashlight apps for the original iPhone which simply turned the screen white, this new app actually makes use of the LED camera flash on the iPhone 4. What we won't know is if this runs afoul of any of Apple's App Store rules. The developer, however, is planning on submitting it to the App Store.
Meanwhile, individuals have worked on unofficially installing Apple's iWork and iMovie apps to other iOS devices. The iWork apps are presently iPad only while the iMovie app is an iPhone 4 exclusive. Aside from some formatting issues, Pages seems to work fine on the iPhone 4. There have been hints that Apple is planning on bringing the productivity suite to the iPhone.
Meanwhile, Redmond Pie posts a video of iMovie running on the iPhone 3GS. It is said to be running "almost perfectly". One person even got it running on an iPhone 3G -- though with some crashes. The findings are interesting in that we had speculated that iMovie might have required the higher RAM and faster processor of the iPhone 4.

That would be extremely useful. All he has to do is charge $.99 for the flashlight app, sit back and watch his bank account grow.

It would have made more sense if he would have shot the video in a dark environment instead of daylight. :)

I'd imagine that the best way for it to work would actually be to have the screen shut off when the light turns on, then tap to turn the light off and the screen back on. Any light coming off the screen and getting in your eyes will make the whole thing less effective.
You get what I mean haha

When I need to use the LED light, I just switch to the video recording mode and put the light to "On". It would be a lot quicker with this simple app though, but I wouldn't pay for it.

Does someone in Idaho want to go in on a family plan? I can't live without this thing any longer.

Agreed. It's cool and stuff but 99 cents is just out of reach. That would cut into my pez fund.

No bloddy way that was iMovie running on a 3G. My 3G is slower than that in the main home screen, and I don't even have background pictures enabled. (It was painfully slow when I did that.) That has to be on a 3GS.

Well for something I could essentially do by the way that I described, in my opinion it's silly to pay for. Even if it is approved, I'm sure a free app would be released if this developer decided to charge for the app. And sure, 99 cents isn't anything, but you could use this argument for any 99 cent app or songs. They add up quickly, and it's best to think before going out and purchasing anything I like that's 99 cents.
