Description from the AppStore: 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 soon
Now 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: 160x213
** We are working on an update to improve frame rate and quality + lots more features **
** IF YOU HAVE A 3GS YOU DON'T NEED THIS APP ** You already have a video recorder!

Editors comments: Over the Christmas period I will be comparing this app against others in this category, so stay tuned, but if you are looking for a quick comment, then I would say "this one looks like the best so far", and is current the number 1 paid for photo app in the UK AppStore, with 83 5 star ratings, and is the number 2 overall paid for app, again in the UK AppStore.

Looks good but I wish it didn't need the 3.1 upgrade. I don't have access to broadband internet so it's very hard when i want to upgrade the firmware,
not sure why Glyn would give the initial thumbs up top to this one when it only records 1 minute of video and the resolution is only 160x213 and only 3 fps...!!??
the other one... iVidCam... seems to do a pretty good job at almost twice the resolution and "unlimited" video capture... tried the free version of it and it seems OK... not too choppy really considering the framerate (3-7 they say)... so I am more likely to put down the AU$2.49 for the full version of iVidCam rather than the AU$1.19 for the severely limited iVideoCamera with the promise of better frame rate and quality
ALTHO'... I have not tried this one as they do not have a freebie version to try it out first before one puts down their hard earned AU$1.19 :-)
sure it is half the price but at about a 1/1000th of the possible video capture it does not appear to be worth it
