BGR, prompted by a forum post on MacRumors, has tested out some iPhone 3.0 functionality and…:
We’re happy to report that you can receive and play videos over MMS just fine
Sure to be a hit with the MMS lovers, though also likely to once again inflame the “no-video-recording-on-iPhone” frustraterati!
[Thanks to Gabriel for the tip!]

mmm…april fools mebbe?
April 1st, 2009 at 1:55 pm
well…i can´t see why the iphone media player wont´t play low res 3gp videos
April 1st, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Yeah that is extremely amusing… you can play but you can’t record (without jailbreak and one of three different vid apps that enables). Nice, Apple.
April 1st, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Yeah, it could be April Fools, who knows?
We’re not doing anything like that on TiPb, and really we’d expect BGR to hit something like Video Recording — that would be more April fools-worthy.
April 1st, 2009 at 2:12 pm
cool…would be great if it’s true…i at least understand the “no video recording” thing…if what they’ve been saying about it killing the internal storage is true.
April 1st, 2009 at 2:28 pm
^^^don’t believe apples bullshit excuses. This ones even worse than saying 2g phones has a hardware limitation that stops mms when Swirly has no problem pulling it off.
It doesn’t kill storage one bit. My pos razr could do it with 8mb of storage and I haven’t had any problems using cycoder on my iPhone.

I agree, video recording would be pointless, it would have to be at 320×240 or smaller, otherwise it would eat up too much memory. At that resolution it’s pretty much too small to watch anyways.
April 1st, 2009 at 2:51 pm
i think it has more to do with the storage media and writing to it repeatedly than it does space…
April 1st, 2009 at 2:52 pm
I doubt that video recording will be absent. They did not allow MMS to be received when the iPhone didn’t support it so why all video to be received if it cannot send. It’s not in the current beta but will show up when it counts.
April 1st, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I think that we will get it in 3.0. They just don’t want us to know EVERYTHING that we are getting in 3.0. They’ll be like ” oh yeah. We forgot… YOU CAN HAZ VIDEO RECORDING kthxbai!” Lol. And we really shouldn’t need a hardware upgrade to do it.
April 1st, 2009 at 2:59 pm
If video was coming Apple would have said so at the 3.0 event, it would have been huge news. Frankly I don’t even care about MMS or video.
April 1st, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Looks good but iPhone 3G and 2G owners wouldn’t be able to send recorded video then…
I don’t see what the problem is to just put video on the 3G.
I’m happy for this none the less.
April 1st, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Like i said on my twitter. I can’t trust anything on the internet today. Stupid April Fools. Would be cool if this were true.
April 1st, 2009 at 4:33 pm
April fools?? This is exciting.. lol
April 1st, 2009 at 5:08 pm
As well as the 2G frustraterati. Still a lame excuse that the 2G radio can’t do MMS.
April 1st, 2009 at 6:15 pm
iPhone video record what do you call a dear with no eyes ‘no eye dear’.
Bluetooth file share What do you call a dear with no eyes and legs ’still no eye dear’

Apple won’t tell us everything about the next iPhone in the preview: they’ll have nothing to show off at the official release. I think that the stuff about the memory is a bluff and that the memory is going to be seriously improved and so video is fine. Adding a voice recording app tells us that apple is turning the iPhone into an all round device and all phones with a camera and audio recording have video recording. For me video is a definate yes and about battery – I don’t think it will be improved but eh… The 4th iPhone will be the battery boost as the main new feature. It’s about time the iPhone had more memory. The design will be like the current iPhone but the material is going to be more like what the apple logo is made out of on the iPod touch 1g and iPhone 2g. That horrible scratchy blackboard stuff.
