The iPhone 3G[s], with it’s upgraded 3 MP camera, includes video recording but Apple decided to keep that ability exclusive to the new device.  The OG iPhone and iPhone 3G get the step child treatment because Apple says the camera is not good enough to record video.  I am here to tell you that both older model iPhones are quite capable of recording video and I will show you how to get it for yourself.

This method requires that you have a jailbroken iPhone running OS 3.0.

If you have not jailbroke your device yet, you can find full instructions here:

Once you have jailbroken your device, we can begin.

You can now record video,play it back on your iPhone, upload it to YouTube, and email it to friends.  The application gives you a trial period but for the full version without restrictions it will cost you $19.95 USD.  You can purchase a full license at the developers site here www.iphonevideorecorder.com I have been using this application since its first version on my OG iPhone and love it.  Don’t be jealous of the new iPhone 3G[s] and when someone tries to make your older model iPhone feel inadequet you can show them how you can record video too.

If you have any problems installing Video Recorder for 3.0 or need help with your settings please leave a comment and we will try to help.
