Apple has produced a 30–second commercial of a skakeboarder that highlights the video recording, editing (see below) and uploading capabilities of its new iPhone 3GS.
The quality of the iPhone 3GS’ video recording has been getting rather good reviews. As with many bundled iPhone capabilities, video recording doesn’t have many (to say the least) bells and whistles, although it’s very simple to shoot, edit and send a video, either as an e-mail attachment or uploaded directly to YouTube (see above left).
I’ve used video editing programs on a variety of high end camera phones, especially Nokia Nseries (courtesy of Nokia's blogger relations program), and editing isn’t always intuitive, especially to users who have never done it before. Apple’s bundled video editing software doesn’t do much, but the very lack of features combine with the touch interface makes it pretty simple to delete frames and transmit.
There’s no doubt many iPhone users will be shooting and uploading videos. I also assume software developers will offer more advanced iPhone video editing applications.
