One of the big improvement of iPhone 3GS over iPhone 2G or 3G is the ability to capture video. A couple day ago, Apple officially approved a video camera application called iVideoCamera for older models of iPhone.
Developed by Laan Labs, iVideoCamera lets iPhone 2G and 3G users record short videos. Of course, for iPhone 3GS, you do not need this app as the default camera app already comes with the video capturing feature.
To capture a video, simply launch the app and tap the big “Record” button to start recording. When finish, tap the “Stop” button to save the video to camera roll. The app also provides you with options to share the video with friends via Facebook or upload it to YouTube/Vimeo. It will soon support Twitter and other social media networks in later update.
iVideoCamera works pretty well but don’t expect it can completely match with the video camera app on iPhone 3GS. This app only allows users to capture videos up to 1 minute in length with fairly low resolution (160×213) and low frame rate (3 frames per second). As mentioned by the company, they are working hard on an update to improve the video quality and frame rate.
For those using the original iPhone 2G and 3G, this app is a great add-on and you can easily powers the iPhone with video capturing ability. iVideoCamera is now available on App Store for US$0.99 only. You can download via this direct iTunes link.
Other than iVideoCamera, there is another way to capture video on older models of iPhone. By jailbreaking, you can install Cycorder, which is a free video camera app for jailbroken iPhone with even better quality than iVideoCamera. To learn more about Cycorder, you can check the earlier review here.
If you’ve purchased iVideoCamera app, as always, remember to leave your comment to share your experience about the pp.

I dont know where else to ask this. In the past I used adobe photoshop album starter edition 3.2 to manage photos between the computer and the iphone (2g, jau’d, 3.0.1). Using that program I could change the order of the pictures and and easily manage my different photo albums on the phone. Now the adobe doesn’t work. It can’t seem to download the photos from the phone, like it used to. Adobe of course want to sell me a program but it’s expensive and I don’t know if it will work.
Do you know of a program that will work ?
Thanks,
