14 DAY TRIAL // iPhone's lack of video recording capabilities was and still is cataloged by many users as being "pretty lame", "pathetic", "surprisingly in a bad way" and so on. I wish I could say these are harsh judgments but I can't, since a multimedia handset unable to record video is... well, let's say it's an incomplete multimedia device.
Still, it looks like the iPhone can record video, as a new third party application proves it. Developed by a hard working fellow from Monster and Friends, the application can, for the moment, record only a 5 second video at 10 frames per second (fps) and can replay the video after the recording is complete. However, it can't save the video, but the final version of the application should be able to do that, as well as record videos for an unlimited time (well, as far as the phone's memory allows it), at a 2 Megapixel resolution and a quality of 30 fps. Also, the final version is said to bring a User Interface too, because the current version does not have one. It's a beta release, so that's forgivable.
I'm not sure if the application is named Drunknbass or if this is the nickname of its developer, but that's not really important. What matters is that the new app can be downloaded from the Monster and Friends website for all the iPhone users to test it until the final version will come out.
Since Apple officially approved third party apps for its smartphone, we're now waiting for other developers to come with new applications and improve the handset. Maybe a first app to think of is one that enables the device to send and receive MMS, although I guess that would be a difficult thing to do... But developers aren't afraid of the word "difficult", right?
