Record a wee bit of video on your iPhone
We could make a meal with all the complaints about features that Apple left off version 1 of the iPhone—okay, maybe a frozen pizza, if you consider that a meal—but third-party developers continue to be eager to fill in the gaps. I was somewhat perplexed as to why, despite having a camera, the iPhone can’t record video. Not a deal-breaker for me, by any means, but more of a curiosity.
The developers at Monster and Friends has posted a proof of concept for video recording. When you launch this app on your iPhone (which will need to be jailbroken), it’ll record five seconds of video at 10 frames per second and then play the clip back for you. Hardly enough to make your Oscar-winning feature film, but the final version should allow recording an unlimited length clip of 15-30+fps.
If you’re interested in helping out, the team is looking for a little assistance with the application, so drop them a line at the site above.

I wonder how hard it will be for developers of current 3rd party apps to offer their snacks legitimately when the official SDK comes from Apple in February (if we’re to believe they are on schedule). I don’t foresee it being too complicated, but you never know. Maybe once it is released, they see they have to start over from scratch to offer it in an approved manner. It will be interesting to see how this progresses.
