How can I record video on my original 2G iPhone / iPhone 3G?

As we all know, when Apple released iPhone OS 3.0, it only allowed iPhone 3GS hardware to record and share video. Original (2G) iPhone owners and those with an iPhone 3G were left without video capabilities even after upgrading their firmware.

The alternative was to jailbreak your iPhone and run an application like Cycorder to record video. Now thanks to developer Global Delight Technologies anyone can shoot video by simply downloading an app on the App Store.

Is Hulu available on the iPhone?

As of yet, unfortunately no.

If you haven't already discovered as much, the traditional Hulu website doesn't work on the iPhone due to its requirement of the Adobe Flash plugin.

Earlier this year, in April, a host of rumors circulated that Hulu was hard at work on an iPhone app that would allow Hulu content to be viewed directly on the iPhone (not via iPhone's Safari browser). Thus far, this application hasn't materialized.

If you're like us, you're eager to see Hulu on the iPhone ASAP. As soon as you can, we'll let you know.

Video: iPhone 3GS Takes Four Bullets

Every iPhone owner has had moments of frustration. Most of us refrain from smashing our phones to bits or throwing it out the window. Others take their anger to a whole new level.


One firearm owner with an iPhone 3GS to spare has performed his own ballistics tests on the device and posted the results on YouTube. Apple probably didn't anticipate their phones would have to take bullets when they designed the 3GS.

HD Video Playback on the iPhone 3GS

You may be aware that Microsoft's Zune HD will hit shelves on September 15th. The portable device will play HD video and compete with Apple's iPod Touch. What you may not know is that the iPhone 3GS is already capable of playing 720p and 1080p resolution HD video without skipping a beat.

Although the iPhone screen resolution is only 480x320 pixels, the possibility of future Apple devices linking to external displays for HD video playback is real.

Rumor: Video Chat Coming to iPhone 3.0?

Live video iChat on the iPhone may be something we would expect from Apple, but is the timing and technology ripe for this functionality to come out this summer? Some reports are reading into AT&T network upgrades to 7.2 Mbps as a sign that they are bracing for more bandwidth demands from their iPhone subscriber base, and that one of those demands could be live video chat.

The longer AT&T can deliver what Apple needs for its hardware, the longer the company stands to profit from an exclusive arrangement to offer the iPhone on its network. Other leaks and data that point in the direction of a front facing camera on the next generation iPhone have also surfaced.
