@whydidnt – Nobody expects the app to take video when the phone cannot do it. However, there is certainly a better solution (like not showing the button period).

Why would anyone expect is application to support video when the 3G doesn't support video? It's not the developer that is "splitting the platform", it's Apple. And rightfully so, you don't buy a video chat application for your PC if you don't have a video camera, right? So why would you think an upgraded Twitter app that enables you to upload video would magically enable your 3G to take video? Why would you expect the developer to make this work?

Sometimes I think people whine just for something to do! Consumers needs to start using their brains and actually reviewing an application's compatibility before spending cash on an app. It's not Apple's job to babysit your phone.

Jailbroken video via Cycoder is sh*t, when a fully functioning 3Gs get's out in the wild there'll be comparison videos and camera shots.

Then all you naysayers will realise what a vast upgrade this actually is.

@MattyFresh, let us know what company you "own", then I'll make sure I don't buy anything from you...

"my mom", "my friends". Are you sure you've left pre-school?

Video should be integrated in all the iPhones. I mean honestly, it can browse the internet, talk, listen to music, watch videos, and it’s a touch screen. But it can’t record video? That’s Apples way of saying, “Please upgrade so you can get one more new feature, and a bit more speed.”

@Rajiv:

It's my understanding that the jailbroken 3G phone can only achieve 15 frames per second.

So it that is true, maybe Apple just doesn't think its good enough to put their name on.

Just a guess.

I would imagine that Apple decided against recorded video in the 2G and 3G iterations simply to begin the segregation process of its products. Not planned obsolescence, but rather a gentle nudge to upgrade to the next iPhone version.

I thought that there would be twitter apps where u can upload video to… But i think this is inevitable. Of course there aren’t going to be the same features on the older phones.

interesting.

@Matty – Only something you do not need to do if you do not want people to take you seriously or understand the point you are trying to make…
