iPhone 3.0 to come with video camera, claims insider ~ Random Tech Stuff

The iPhone 3.0, iPhone 4G, or whatever Apple decides to call it, will finally make the leap into that select group of mobile phones (i.e. about 90% of the decent ones) that can record moving pictures with its very own video camera, says an anonymous source.

The iPhone’s lack of video recording was one of the more serious let-downs when Apple launched the device, and one that Apple stubbornly refused to correct with the release of the iPhone 3G. Apple may have had its reasons, but ‘lesser’ mobiles have been recording video clips for years and not being able to do the same on such a premium phone seems, well, a bit silly - particularly when the iPhone prototype apparently did come with at least video calling.

Apple Insider recently received word from a trusted - if anonymous - source that this sorry state of affairs is about to change when Apple releases the next generation of iPhone handsets. Apple are apparently planning to include a video camera function on at least one new iPhone.

Now, this obviously points to there being more than one new iPhone coming soon, which tallies with other rumours about iPhone Nanos, etc. Also supporting the video camera rumours is the ‘publish video’ button spotted in the iPhone OS 3.0 beta that has been doing the rounds - although there was a suspicion that ‘publish video’ was a typo as it appeared on a ‘publish image’ app.

Apple Insider describe their source as ‘extremely reliable’ and as someone who has provided solid intel on previous Apple launches. They also speculate that Apple may include support for faster mobile internet (probably HSPA) in order to facilitate streaming video over the airwaves.
