Editors comments: Another video capture app enters the iPhone 2G/iPhone 3G arena, but if as described on the developers website this app does indeed capture at 10 fps, then this could be the app to beat the others. I've not had chance to try this one yet, so if anyone else has, then please let us know what you think of it.

Wonder how this compares with the first of them all, the hitherto jailbreak-only Cycorder.
If Apple's recent relaxing of restrictions means it's time for Cycorder to "come in from the cold", would it not be one of the front-runner video recording apps for 2G/3G iPhones, considering how long it's been in development?
Any jailbreaker app users here on this blog? Let us know your views and experiences with Cycorder - some of us 3G users might decide to wait for it to appear, you know...
Actually Jay Freeman(creator of Cycorder) said that what makes Cycorder better than the App Store apps, is what makes it STILL not within the guidelines of the App Store. Although, lately I've seen many of the App Store apps using the same engine that Cycorder runs on so maybe Jay Freeman hasn't found out yet. Honestly, I've tried a lot of video recording apps and Cycorder is still way better. I hope apple will one day allow Cycorder into the App Store or better yet, include naative video recording in a future update ;)
